  • In transitStorage-in-transit becomes permanent storage after 90 days. We may extend it another 90 days, depending on circumstances.

How does storage with a moving company work?

We collect your things, store them in our own warehouse and bring them to you when you are ready.

  1. Estimate

    Your estimator sees what is going into storage and for how long, and quotes it per hundredweight per month.

  2. Pickup

    Our crew picks up from your home. We can collect from anywhere in the world.

  3. Tag & vault

    Your things are tagged, inventoried and wrapped, then loaded into storage vaults. Our inventory software tracks which items are in which vault. Items that will not fit in a vault are stored loose.

  4. Store

    Vaults are sealed and stacked, usually three high, in one of our temperature-controlled warehouses in Denver, Salt Lake, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs and Utah County.

  5. Delivery

    When you are ready, we deliver across town, to another state or to another country.

Watch: storage with Bailey's Moving & Storage

How is household storage priced?

By how much you store and how long you store it. Compare the total cost, including pickup and delivery, not a single monthly rate.

How much
Weight is the basis: storage is billed for every hundredweight (100 lb), so more belongings cost more. Rates change, so your estimator quotes current ones.
How long
The rate is per month. Storage-in-transit becomes permanent storage after 90 days; both are billed per hundredweight.
Delivery
Delivering out of storage across the country or overseas is more involved than a local delivery, and is priced that way.
Protection
You choose a valuation level for stored goods. Full Value Protection is priced, not free; your estimator quotes it.
Handling
Warehouse handling in and out is charged on top of the monthly rate. We still call it by its old name, cartage.

Is self-storage cheaper?

It can be, and if you're staying in the area and want frequent access, a unit you can drive to may suit you better. The catch is that you get everything into the unit and back out again yourself, and deliver it wherever it goes next. Our storage works best when the details aren't settled yet: you don't know how long you'll store, or where you'll be when you need your things. We pick up, store and deliver anywhere in the world.

Climate-controlled storage

Is your storage climate-controlled?

No. Our warehouses are temperature-controlled, or temperature-regulated, not climate-controlled.

The difference is humidity. Climate-controlled storage regulates temperature and humidity; temperature-controlled storage keeps the temperature in a steady range but does not control humidity.

We wrap everything we store and keep it in our temperature-controlled warehouses. Fine art and antiques are wrapped and packed in sturdy cartons such as dish packs. If something you own needs more than that, ask your estimator what the options are.

Thank you Mathew and Kili! Fast, efficient and pleasant to deal with. We only use Bailey’s for all our moving and storage needs!

We had a great experience! Bailey’s Moving and Storage came to our rescue when the company that was supposed to move us had issues with their truck and could not get us moved to Idaho in the expected timeframe. This was a problem because our buyers were taking possession of the house the very next day. The team that loaded us was courteous and professional, the driver was amazing and the team that unloaded us in Idaho was stellar. Special Thanks to… Corey Oliver – organized and coordinated the whole move and he was sympathetic to our situation. Katherine Brown – was our contact and regularly checked on the progress of the move and our satisfaction. Armando Carrillo – The best truck driver and team boss ever (protected and moved our baby grand piano) and kept the teams humming along. Trevor Peterson – with Five Star Moving Specialists, he and his team were very professional and efficient with unloading the truck and staging our belonging in our new house. E and B Keller

We used Bailey's Moving & Storage to move from Denver CO to Connecticut. We were very pleased with their service. Everything was done in a professional manner and there were no surprises. I want to thank Garrett, Kathryn, and MD (our long distance driver.) Moving is never easy, but Bailey's gave us one less thing to worry about. I recommend them 100%

Storage questions

Short answers first, with a link when there is more to read.

Do you offer climate-controlled storage?

No. Our warehouses are temperature-controlled (temperature-regulated), not climate-controlled. Climate-controlled storage also regulates humidity; temperature-controlled storage keeps the temperature steady but does not control humidity. If an item needs more, ask your estimator about the options.

Read: basic, temperature-controlled or climate-controlled storage?
How is storage billed?

Per hundredweight (100 lb) per month, plus warehouse handling in and out (cartage). What you pay depends on how much you store and how long, plus delivery out of storage and the valuation level you choose.

Can I visit my things in storage?

Yes, on request. Plan on at least 24 to 48 hours notice: your vault is stacked in the warehouse, so we bring it down with a forklift and open it for you. We cannot always accommodate a visit.

How long can I store my things?

As long as you need. Storage-in-transit becomes permanent storage after 90 days; we may extend storage-in-transit another 90 days, depending on circumstances.

Is my storage covered if something is damaged?

Both storage-in-transit and permanent storage need a valuation level chosen. Full Value Protection is extra: it is priced, not free. Your estimator quotes it.

Read: why is valuation extra for my move?
Where are your warehouses?

We have our own warehouses in Denver, Salt Lake, Grand Junction, Colorado Springs and Utah County.

Can you deliver my things out of state or overseas?

Yes. We can pick up from anywhere in the world and deliver anywhere in the world. Long-distance and international deliveries out of storage are more involved than local ones and are priced that way.

Are my things stored in a vault?

Yes. Almost everything goes into a storage vault. Loose storage is only for the rare item that will not fit in one.

Do you store for military moves?

Yes. We do both storage-in-transit (SIT) and non-temporary storage (NTS) for military moves. Military SIT works like storage-in-transit on any national account, under a different tariff.

Do you store my things yourselves or use a broker?

We store them ourselves, in our own warehouses. Bailey's Moving & Storage is a carrier, and we never broker your move.

What can't be stored?

Perishables, hazardous materials, plants, ammunition, anything explosive, and anything that could leak, corrode or otherwise damage the belongings around it.

How secure is my storage?

Every warehouse has cameras and alarms, and access is controlled. Vaults are sealed and stacked, so reaching yours takes knowing where it is and a forklift. That is more secure than a ground-level self-storage unit behind a padlock.
