Many years ago my grandparents were downsizing. My grandpa loaded up many of his possessions along with childhood things from my mom and her sister and donated them to a thrift store. Amidst packing a house, selling it and moving into a new home, he just moved quickly. What he didn’t realize was the value that my mom and aunt had placed on their childhood items. They treasured those memories; they were priceless. My mom and aunt were sorely disappointed to find that all these pieces of their history had been given away without their notice.
If only they had known about Callbox Storage.
According to a recent survey, half of all people over the age of 60 think downsizing is a good idea. The survey results also found that 64 is considered the “perfect age to downsize.”
You might not think of a storage unit when you think of downsizing, but utilizing a storage unit may be one of the best ways to help you as you move forward with the process. As retirement approaches, many people downsize to cut their cost of living. If there are items you aren’t quite ready to part with or those priceless family memories you are saving for your children or grandchildren, utilizing a storage unit may be very beneficial. Adults 55 and up tend to want help with their gardening, home repairs, meal deliveries and housekeeping. Why make storage any different?
Callbox Storage can help you when you find you’re ready to downsize or even just move things from those hard to reach places (like the attic or crawlspace) that may be keeping you from accessing your things at all.
- They come pick up your things for free
- They have licensed and trained professionals who have all the equipment needed to move your items and will even make trips up to your attic to keep you safe and transfer your items to their transport truck
- They take a photo inventory of every item so you always know what you have in storage and can access it whenever you need to
- They’ll drop your items off at your front door when you need to take something out of storage
It can also be a great way to create a transition period for yourself. You can store everything while you work to move into your new place and then simply move only those things that you need in while you work to downsize. Cut the stress, the hassle, stay safe, and take your time.
Whether you’re ready for a weekend golf game or ready to pass along furniture to your child who is buying a new home, Callbox Storage will bring you what you need, when you need it.

I wish Callbox Storage had been an option when my grandparents were downsizing, instead of hauling away those family possessions that are now lost forever.
