Using Preferred Moving & Storage for your Household Storage

August 25, 2011 By

Many relocation customers have not finalized their destination, some are waiting for homes to be built, others are moving into apartments which cannot accommodate all of their belongings, and some just need extra space.

The benefits of using Preferred moving & storage

Whatever your reasons for needing household storage, Preferred Moving & Storage located in Macomb County, Michigan, is a Michigan based moving company that can help. Preferred Moving & Storage located in Macomb County, Michigan is a full-service moving and storage company located at 42950 Executive Drive in Harrison Township, Michigan. We offer long and short-term storage options in our clean, modern facility. We maintain a 21,000 square foot warehouse equipped with a 24-hour security system and a fire-resistant design to ensure the safety of your belongings. Our warehouse is a newly-built facility that meets the rigid criteria required for storing the household goods of the United States military personnel.

Our warehouse at Preferred Moving & Storage located in Macomb County, Michigan is different than the typical self-storage arrangement. All of your household goods are protected and professionally loaded by our crews into storage vaults. Each vault measures 7’ x 7’ x 5’ and holds about one to 1 ½ rooms of furniture. All furniture is pad-wrapped and all upholstered furniture is stretch-wrapped before it is loaded onto our truck. Customers are provided with a detailed inventory of all items placed into our facility. Basically, we do all the work for you. You sit back and relax – leave the heavy lifting to us! As an added benefit, our service at Preferred Moving & Storage located in Macomb County, Michigan can be less expensive than a self-storage facility when you factor in all the costs associated with doing everything yourself (truck rental, dolly rental, furniture pad rental, purchasing insurance for the rental truck, self-storage facility fees, fuel for the truck, recruiting help for moving day, buying lunch for your helpers, etc.).

When choosing a storage facility, quality should always prevail over price. You are entrusting a company with your valued, personal possessions. Get referrals, call several companies, and visit potential facilities before placing your items in their care.

Military Moving in Macomb County, Michigan

August 20, 2011 By

Good Afternoon. My name is Henry Cadle with Preferred Moving. We are located in Harrison Township, Michigan. I’m here today to talk a little bit about the services we offer to our armed forces of the United States. We are located right next door to Selfridge Air Base, which is located in Harrison Township also in Macomb County. We offer moving of household services to military members. What most military members are not aware of is that they can participate and select the mover that they are assigned to move with.

Selfridge will assign a mover for you, or you can request your mover. We would like to invite all military members if you are anticipating a move, please give us a call. We’d like an opportunity to earn your business and to be your mover of choice. Again, we are located in Harrison Township, right next door to Selfridge Air National Guard, so if you work at Selfridge we’re easy enough to come over and see our facilities. We have a brand new facility here in Harrison Township. We can store your goods for short or long term. We can move you within the state of Michigan, out of state, or anywhere that you may be assigned in at work. You can reach us at 1-800-837-4600 or on our website: www.preferredmoving.net. Once again, that’s Preferred Moving Storage, Harrison Township, Macomb County, Michigan.

Thank you.
