Secure Furniture Storage Between Your Moving Dates
Secure and Convenient Storage Solutions
Buzz Movers stores your furniture securely between your move-out and move-in dates, for a few weeks or several months. Your belongings are collected, wrapped, catalogued and stored on one inventory, then delivered to your new home when you are ready, so nothing changes hands or needs a second removal company.
What happens if your moving dates don't line up?
Storage is the answer when your move-out date and your move-in date are not the same day, which happens on a large share of long distance moves. A lease ends before a transfer registers. A new build runs late. A sale goes through faster than expected. Rather than pushing your whole move or paying for a place you cannot occupy, Buzz Movers collects on your move-out date, stores your furniture, and delivers on the day your new home is ready. You keep the date you have already committed to and move the flexible part, which is the delivery. Flag it when you request your quote so storage is built into the plan rather than arranged in a panic the week before.
How is storage with a moving company different from self-storage?
The difference is who handles your furniture and how many times it moves. With self-storage, you rent a unit and then arrange transport to get your furniture there, unload it, and repeat the whole exercise in reverse when you collect. That is two additional handling operations you organise and pay for. With Buzz Movers, your furniture is loaded once at your old home, stored, and delivered to your new one. It stays wrapped, it stays on the same inventory, and it stays with the same company from collection through to delivery. Self-storage suits you better if you need regular access to your things while they are stored. Mover storage suits you better if you are simply waiting for a date.
What does Buzz Movers storage include?
Flexible terms
Storage runs for as long as you need it, from a few weeks between transfer dates through to several months while a build finishes. Terms are flexible and quoted upfront, so you are not locked into a longer commitment than your situation calls for.
Inventory management
Your stored items are catalogued and labelled, so everything is accounted for and can be retrieved without unpacking a warehouse to find one box. It is the same inventory list your move is quoted on, which means one document runs from collection through storage to delivery.
Collection and delivery
Because Buzz Movers collects and delivers, your storage period starts and ends with a moving crew rather than a self-drive trip. Retrieval is arranged with your consultant so the truck and crew are booked for the day your new place is ready.
How much does furniture storage cost?
torage is quoted on volume and duration: how much space your furniture occupies and how long it stays. The same inventory list that sets your moving quote sets your storage quote, so if you already have a moving figure, the storage estimate follows from it directly. Two things are worth knowing before you compare quotes. Self-storage is priced on floor area in square metres, so a low headline rate can still cost more once you have paid separately to get your furniture there and back. And storage arranged upfront as part of a move is simpler to price than storage arranged mid-move, because the volume is already known.
Which areas does Buzz Movers store for?
Buzz Movers arranges storage for moves collected in and around Cape Town and Johannesburg, from its branches in Strand in the Western Cape and Midrand in Gauteng. Storage on a long distance move is worth raising early, because it changes the sequencing: on a Cape Town to Johannesburg move, whether your furniture waits at the collection end or the delivery end depends on which date is uncertain. Your consultant will work out which way round costs you less and gets you into your new home sooner.
