Find Harmony in Self Storage

Posted on May 18, 2012 by Rolly's

Musical instruments provide hours of entertainment and pleasure, but they also take up a lot of space. Unlike other large items, you can’t just dump your instruments in the garage until you need them again. Some instruments, especially those made of wood, are affected by temperature changes. Most garages are drafty and cold in the winter and like boiler rooms in the summer, which could spell disaster for your prized instruments.

Rolly’s know that any self respecting musician will have a hard time entrusting their instruments to strangers, so we are here to ease your mind. We provide the best Winnipeg self storage options; one of which is our state of the art, climate controlled lockers. These lockers provide the benefit of maintained temperatures, which replicate the ambient temperatures of your home. Even if you are a budding musician, and are unsure of the best conditions for your instruments, do not worry, our expert staff can advise you.

Obviously you will want to access your instruments whenever you need to; not a problem, with Rolly’s. You will have 24 hour, seven day a week access to our facility, using your own personal access card. Our service is the perfect answer for the storage needs of performing bands too. Just imagine, all the band’s equipment in one easy to access location, where you can just pick up and go, whenever you need to.

Whatever your purpose, you will find that Rolly’s is more than equipped to meet, and even exceed, your requirements for musical equipment storage.

Planning for a Commercial Move

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Rolly's

A commercial move is a time consuming process; and we all know, in business, time is money. It is not just a matter of planning how to pack everything, you also have to consider the order in which you pack, the impact on productivity and the man hours lost during the packing process. All of which, on a commercial scale, can take weeks or even months of planning alone when you’re moving. Winnipeg businesses can suffer a lot of down time in the process.

The time taken to plan and pack for a commercial move is an irredeemable cost to a business. However, it is also an avoidable cost. When you compare the time committed to the task in-house with hiring a moving company to do the work for you, there is no contest. Employing Rolly’s, one of the most experienced Winnipeg moving companies, wins hands down, every time.

Rolly’s has the experience and expertise to plan your commercial move, from start to finish. Not only that, but you will see minimal disruption to your business operations. The most important thing for us is ensuring a smooth transition for you. That means inventory of all your office supplies, equipment and everything else before the move, planning the move during a time that does not compromise your operations and ensuring your new premises are ready for you to ease seamlessly back into business as usual.

We work with you to reduce the unnecessary consumption of your time. Leaving you to carry on with what’s most important – the continuous and effective operation of your business. If you are up-scaling your business, we can help with that too. Rolly’s can provide self storage facilities for your new equipment, and when it comes time to move, we will deliver it to the new premises.

Give us a call and let us save you time and money by coordinating the move for you.

Posted on April 30, 2012 by Rolly's

Things You Can’t Live Without When Moving

Posted on April 18, 2012 by Rolly's

It is easy to get swept up in making sure that everything is packed neatly away, when moving. Winnipeg residents who are moving can often neglect the immediate need for essential items during the overall process. The home you are leaving doesn’t become obsolete the moment you start packing. Equally, your new home will not have all the familiar conveniences the minute your step through the door. When moving, you will very quickly discover that there are five things you always need easy access to.

Disposable dishes – You really don’t want to start dealing with the constant packing and unpacking of dishes. By investing in disposable dishes you can use and throw away, as the need arises.

Bathroom items – Toiletry and shower items are essential, so make sure that you keep these all together. That way you can use what you need when you need it.

Garbage cans and bags – One thing you are going to do a lot of when moving is throwing things out. A ready supply of large refuse bags and garbage cans will make the job easier.

Tool box – What goes up, must come down and up again. Without a toolbox close at hand, dismantling furniture and other items just will not be possible.

Beds – Rome wasn’t built in a day, and the same applies to moving a home. You will want to crash after a hard days packing or unpacking, so make plans to ensure there are beds and bedding available.

Always leave these and other essentials to be packed last thing before moving and unpacked first when you arrive at your new home. Rolly’s is one of the most experienced Winnipeg moving companies. We are happy to share the tips we’ve learned to make the moving process simpler. Another way to simplify the move is to place some of your items in our self storage facilities while you’re packing. Less clutter left in the home, takes a lot of stress out of those final days of packing.

Stock Your Inventory In Self Storage Containers

Posted on April 9, 2012 by Rolly's

One of the greatest strengths in business is the ability to monitor sales and trends. Part of which, for many businesses, involves accurately tracking inventory. However, the best made plans of mice and men, all fall down when we run out of space. Whether it is sellable stock or performance records, in some businesses, if you lose track of inventory it can mean game over.

Another downfall, for many smaller businesses, is supply and demand. Often the demand for stock fluctuates as the business establishes itself or goes through peaks and troughs. You can’t always rely on suppliers to provide additional stock either. So, the only sure way to stay ahead of the game is to know your market and stay prepared.

Self storage and storage containers are the winning combination that every business needs. You can create a cataloguing system that allows you to track your stock. However, by using Rolly’s self storage services, you can also ensure that the system is organized and efficient. If you find yourself in a position where you are overstocked, there is no need to worry. With everything catalogued and in storage containers, you can free up room with our self storage service. On a more optimistic note, when business is good you will have surplus stock available to draw from.

With our 45 years experience in moving and warehousing large volumes of stock, you will be entering a partnership with the leader of Winnipeg moving companies. Why pay high rent for extra space that does not justify the cost? Our competitive prices are the solution for your inventory storage needs.

Mistakes People Make When Moving and How To Avoid

Posted on March 29, 2012 by Rolly's

Any kind of move, whether big or small, inevitably turns into a nightmare. Perhaps that is why, for many of us, the very thought of it is enough to avoid getting started. However, procrastinating is often the first mistake of many. Less time means a higher potential for poor organization, packing in a rush, hap-hazard labelling and leaving things behind.

Having everything you need before you start is a must. That means inventory sheets, bubble-wrap, tape, markers and more boxes than you think you need. Plan well ahead of time, to make sure you are organized, pack everything carefully and label boxes in a logical manner.

You are not out of the woods yet, you still have to transport everything, get it unpacked and stored away. Which, given the earlier mistake of procrastination that you made, presents a whole new level of nightmare. If we were born possessing the gift of 20/20 hindsight, none of this would be a problem. Unfortunately though, we are not.

Which leads us to another common mistake that we often make when moving – assuming it is best to do the job ourselves. Winnipeg moving companies do this every day. A company, such as Rolly’s, are experts in the industry, providing the packing materials and also offering self storage facilities for items not yet ready to transport. So why climb such a steep learning curve when you can avail of such a wealth of experience?

You could save yourself a lot of time, stress and headache by using Rolly’s. Not to mention ensuring that everything reaches its intended destination, and in the same condition it left, too. Moving is by no means an easy task, so you can be forgiven for choosing to employ help from those who have done it all before.
