So you are looking for somewhere to store your stuff. Whether it is because you are moving and need to de-clutter your home, downsizing, or some other reason you have a few choices. First, you could use a self-storage unit at a storage facility. Second, you could use a large national portable storage company. Or, you can use a local and more affordable portable storage company such as We Come 2 U Storage. Below we will go into the pros and cons of each as well as provide a price comparison.
