Moving out before you can move in leaves a gap of days or months. Storage covers the gap, and the list you make for it is the same list the movers, the donation run and the new place will need.
What usually goes in
Furniture the new place is not ready for yet: the sofa, the dining set, spare beds.
Boxed rooms, packed and labeled by the room they will go to next.
Appliances only if the new place does not already have them.
Not: anything the storage rules below say cannot be stored.
Lay it out for the way you will use it
Load what you will need first at the new place last, so it comes out first.
Leave a narrow aisle if you expect to come back for boxes before the final move.
Label every box by room and give each a number; the planner and labels tool keep that list.
Check that big pieces pass the door: the planner tells you if a sofa only fits tilted.
GET IT BACK IN ORDER
Get things back in the order you need them.
Make the list once, then load it in reverse. What you will want first at the new place goes in last, so it is the first thing out.

The planner’s starting list, 9 items: Sofa, Queen mattress, Dresser, Dining table, Dining chair × 2, Moving box × 2, Large box. Swap in your own items and the planner gives you a loading order.
An example order to change. It is the same list the planner opens with, not a measured plan for your things.
The planner starts with common apartment furniture and boxes you can swap for your own, shows how it fits in each size and gives you a loading order. No account is needed to start.
Most moving stays run from a few weeks to a few months, and people usually want month-to-month terms so the end date can move with the closing date. Whether that is offered, and the price, is up to the location, and the team confirms it with you.
Unit sizes, availability, prices, hours and access come from the location, not from this page. Location details are on Locations, and Find a space sends a real request.
