Moving for the First Time?
When you choose a moving company that offers storage services, the process typically begins with setting your moving date. The company will provide you with a detailed Order of Service Agreement outlining all requested services, their schedule, and associated costs.
On your moving day, professional movers will arrive at your location and carefully load your packed items into their specially equipped trucks. As they load, they’ll create a comprehensive inventory on the Bill of Lading (BOL), which serves as both a list of your belongings and a receipt.
Your items will then be transported to the company’s storage facility. There, they’ll securely store your belongings in designated areas within their warehouse.
Most companies can assist you with accessing specific items during storage if needed. You should contact them in advance for such requests, as there may be additional fees for item retrieval.
When you’re ready to receive your belongings, the moving company will coordinate the delivery to your new location. Their team will unload and place items according to your instructions. The process typically concludes with a final walk-through alongside the lead mover to ensure everything is accounted for and properly placed. Your signature on the BOL marks the official completion of the move.

When searching for dependable warehouse moving and storage providers, it’s important to consider factors such as customer reviews, proper licensing and insurance, industry experience, and the range of services offered. Reputable companies often have a strong local presence and a track record of satisfied customers.
According to Consumer Reports, you should “Read reviews and complaints… Find out whether the company has a report with the Better Business Bureau, which has reviews of more than 20,000 moving-related companies. Look at the letter grade the BBB has assigned the mover and read about any complaints, reviews, and government actions. You can also review the company’s complaint history using the mover search tool on the Department of Transportation website. “

Reliable storage facilities implement various security measures to protect stored items. These often include 24/7 video surveillance, advanced alarm systems, restricted access to storage areas, regular security patrols, and climate control to protect against temperature and humidity fluctuations.
According to Brimich Logistics, “Fluctuations in temperature and humidity can cause products to warp, crack, or otherwise become damaged due to a lack of environmental control. A climate-controlled warehouse protects against these risks, reducing the likelihood of product loss or damage.” Many facilities also have fire suppression systems and conduct regular pest control treatments.
At Lincoln Moving & Storage, we prioritize the security of your belongings with all these measures and more. We have three warehouse storage facilities:
All of our warehouse spaces are climate-controlled, pest-controlled, flood-controlled, and under 24/7 security surveillance, providing you with peace of mind. Our warehouse layouts include pallet racks and shelving systems to maximize space and improve safety. “We regularly review and update our security protocols to ensure we’re using the most effective methods to protect your possessions,” says Kent General Manager Brian Crockett.

Most moving and storage companies offer flexible pickup and delivery systems. For pickup, the company’s team arrives at the customer’s location, carefully loads the items, and transports them to the storage facility. There are many types of warehouse storage, but one of the most common among moving companies is to store items in wooden vaults. You will be assigned your vaults, making warehouse management much easier if you ever need to request an item out of storage.
moveBuddha states, “It’s common practice for movers to bring these storage vaults directly to your home on move day.” When the customer is ready for delivery, they contact the company to arrange a convenient date and time. The company then retrieves the items from storage and delivers them to the specified destination.
Lincoln Moving & Storage offers this flexible system with the added convenience of our three locations in the Puget Sound area. We understand your needs can change, so we offer partial delivery options for customers needing access to only certain items from their storage. “Our team will work with your schedule to ensure a smooth pickup and delivery process,” says Owner Chris DiJulio.
