4 Things to Find After a Move

When you are in the process of moving around, you have a million things running around your brain. It’s only natural that you tend to forget a few things here and there. Most people do not realize that once the move is done, it’s still not over. Here are 4 things you need to find AFTER you are done moving.

4 Things After You Move

1. Hairdresser

Many people have one hairdresser that they trust and keep around for a long time. Well, when you move, you may not think about this right away, but when times come for a fresh cut, where do you go? Well, you can ask friends, neighbours or even co-workers. Another option is to check local hairdressers/barbershops and their online reviews. This should be enough to find someone well recommended. You might have to try a few before you find a favourite.

2. Family Doctor

Family doctors are hard to find and even harder to get into. So this might be an important step before you even move, leaving it until you arrive could be costly. We suggest that you first ask your original family doctor to see if they can refer you to another in your destination city. You could also use this website to help your search, they list all the physicians in your new area.

3. Storage

If you are downsizing or simply need time to unpack and sort everything out, finding storage is critical. Often you can research self storage facilities in your area, Sparefoot is a great online tool for this. At North Shore Mini we have storage in an easily accessible location with great rates.

4. Trusted Mechanic

Finding a good mechanic is almost as hard as finding a doctor. You want someone you can trust with your vehicle. If you haven’t found one, your car brand dealership could help, however, we suggest going independent as the service and prices are generally better. Just like hairdressers, online reviews are your best friend in this situation.

Don’t forget these 4 things and the sooner you start thinking about them the better. Good luck with your move and choose North Shore Mini Storage.

This is inexpensive storage that operates 100% as advertised - they do not offer 24/7 access and do not charge 24/7 access pricing. They are incredibly responsive to requests to unlock doors and provide access. It is not fancy but if you need a clean, dry place to store your stuff, you can't beat these guys. Don't expect bells and/or whistles but you also won't be paying for them.

Have to phone to have buildings unlocked. Annoying.

Prices are 1/2 the price of other storage units but it shuts down (locked gates) from 10 am - 6 pm except if you have the enormous ground level outside facing units. Those hours are impossible. The technology getting items up to the second story is an actual forklift thats made stationary. You balance your items up the forklift (and you raise the wooden pallet up yourself) Then you must walk up stairs and hope their is a dolly available to wind precariously around tiny turning hallways. Budget carpentry and ancient carpet in the units. The trolleys sound and feel like their from 1980's and are either coached to disobey or they keep their own counsel. They say its secure but I had a neighbor pick something up and they weren't even asked for permission. I explicitly stated only I was to have access. They said they do not let it happen. The locks are your own, but the flip closure is attached by 3/4 wood screws easily and possibly quite quietly could be opened and emptied with no one batting an eye. A kid could detach it with anything. They have "24 hour security" which means a guy lives on site. Does he/she have CCTV access? Probably not, nor would you want that job. Are there motion sensors? Not likely as sometimes the lights won't turn on and finding a switch in the straggly wandering corridors is impossible. They do not offer insurance. You have to sign forms saying all the things you will and won't do, but they are not liable if anything happens: theft, fire, water, vandals, pests etcSo despite all those complaints, its still 4/5 only because of the prices.
