What does the storage price include?
All prices include the storage unit charge, rates, service, utility bills and maintenance costs. Additional insurance can also be purchased for complete peace of mind.
Can I access my items whenever I want?
Unlimited access is available free of charge during our long opening hours.
Do I need to reserve a storage unit in advance?
Not at all, you just need to complete and sign a storage agreement form and then you can move your items into our storage depot immediately. Although to ensure the best possible service for you we would recommend giving us some notice and an advanced booking if at all possible.
Do Army Ants sell storage and packing materials?
Yes we do! Packing materials can be purchased in person from our depots, including an extensive range of packing materials from boxes to bubble wrap. Visit our packing materials page for more details.
Will you accept deliveries on my behalf?
Certainly, if arranged with us in advance. We would also need to hold a key to your room and take delivery of any goods for you. We sign for the amount of packages received but not for the contents as this would necessitate us opening your packages. We offer this service free of charge.
Can you arrange collection/delivery of my items?
Yes we can! Army Ants offer a free collection and drop off service. Click here for more details.
What if my items wont fit in my chosen storage unit?
No problem! Depending on availability at our facility you can simply transfer your items to a larger unit.
How long can I rent a storage unit for?
Basically for as long as you need the storage space. You are welcome to store with Army Ants for a week, monthly or even yearly and you can change storage units as your volume alters. Our minimum storage period is seven days.
Do you have limits on what I can store?
Almost anything can be stored except living items (animals & plants), hazardous materials (flammable liquids and explosives), items that could decompose (exposed foodstuffs) and unauthorised or illegal goods (firearms etc).
What payment types do Army Ants accept?
A range of easy payment options are available including cash, credit or debit card, cheque and standing order.
