- Choose a provider who owns the property not a provider who rents the property. Rental providers in Shanghai have closed down causing losses to clients who pre-paid rental and also left costumer belongings unattended once shut. Our advice: do not risk it. Choose an owner of property and not a renter if you want security and stability.
- Some providers convert areas which are not warehouse authorized into storage and operate it with the risk of being shut down. Basements for example in China do not have a property deed therefore using those as storage is illegal as they are common areas owned by all landlords. This is a grey area. Our advice: do not risk it! Choose a big provider vs. small one, and one were property usage is warehousing.
- Website/Reality Check: Go and visit before you choose your storage provider – especially in places where there are no market standards yet it is extremely important to visit the place you want to store – Websites and Reality differences are huge and in some cases you will be surprised. Our advice: do not risk it: visit a couple of providers and make your choice on what you see in on your visit and not on what you hear and see on a website.
