UNITS Mobile Storage of Milwaukee

Read Full Post

We started with a beautiful night on the outside patio at Leff’s Lucky Town in the village of Wauwatosa.   Glues where tweeted out by @UNITSMilwaukee to help patrons guess What’s in my UNIT?    Four prize packages where secure inside the locked storage UNIT.

Here are the clues for the first prize: Leff’s is pet friendly (yes, I bring my dog Reagan to Leff’s!); This prize is centrally located.  Can you guess What’s in my UNIT?  The lucky winner guessed a gift basket from Central Bark in Wauwatosa. 

The next prize package had clues that where a little harder to decipher: The Navy’s General; Don’t puck around; Roscoe is here.  Can you guess What’s in my UNIT?  The answer is The Admirals prize package including a zamboni ride at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee.

How are you doing?  Our third prize had lots of guessers, but only one lucky winner: We are brewin’ up a good time for you; Win this prize four fun; Tix toc tix toc time is running out.  Can you guess What’s in my UNIT?  Brewers’ tickets of course!  At this point in the night, we wished we had a retractable roof like Miller Park because it started to rain and we all had to move inside.  But, not to worry, the final prize was dry inside our storage UNIT.

Final prize and last chance to win: Beer belly be gone!!; You can go for a spin or a swim here; 6 Milwaukee area locations.  Can you guess What’s in my UNIT?  A one year membership to the WAC with locations in West Allis, Wauwatosa, Waukesha, Greenfield, Milwaukee and North Shore Wisconsin.

Congratulations to our winners!  Follow us @UNITSMilwaukee on twitter for the next What’s in my UNIT? Contest.

I guess good things, because UNITS Mobile Storage of Milwaukee has a 5 star rating on Merchant Circle!  Here is what one remodeling customer had to say:

 “Prompt, friendly service, both on drop off and pick up. Great product–clean, dry, no worries. Stored the contents of our family room in it for about two months while redoing the room, and everything was just as we put it in when it was time to unload. Very convenient–would use again, and highly recommend this company! “ – Kent

And here is another satisfied customer’s review from Google.

 “First of all, I will never move again without using this kind of container, what a difference it made! I would surely use Mobile Units Storage such as I did late last year. They were extremely professional, yet very friendly, and quite a bit cheaper than other companies like them. They delivered a unit to my address, placed it perfectly where I wanted it, (the driver was super nice) I packed at my leisure, they picked it up when I was ready and took it to the new house. The nicest surprise…everything was intact and right where I packed it! Piece of cake! Great job MUS, I’m not easy to impress.‎” – Leeza

So you find yourself needing to move again?  But this move there will be a 6 week delay between leaving your current home and moving into the next home.  What do you do with all your stuff?  Will Mom and Dad let you store your valuables in their garage or basement?  Do you rent a truck and move to self storage, only to then again rent a truck and move your stuff to your new home?  Do you squirrel your belongings at friend’s houses?  All these ideas are a lot of work and time!  You will be lifting every item 4 times and renting a truck twice.

 In the metro Milwaukee area your moving and storing needs will be easily solved using a storage unit.  We deliver the unit  to your house, you pack and then we store your belongings at our heated, secure warehouse.  When your next home is ready, we delivery the storage unit to your house and you unload.  You pack once and unpack once.  That’s it!

Contact UNITS Mobile Storage at 414-486-8648 (UNIT) and get ready to solve your moving and storing needs the convenient way.

My business partner Jim and our driver JJ headed down to Janesville WI to tour the Morgan Plant where our moving UNITS are manufactured.  We feel good about purchasing our moving UNITS from a plant right here in southern Wisconsin. 

After the tour, Jim said he now understands why our moving UNITS are so tough.  He saw firsthand the detail to attention and quality control.  It is what you would expect of a manufacturer in the heart land of Wisconsin. 

Their trip was so great; they even brought back a new 16” UNIT as a souvenir!   This souvenir is available for rent by calling UNITS Mobile Storage at 414-476-8648.

 As someone who has lived through three remodeling projects, I know how dusty your belongings get when your home is being remodeled.  Where do you store your belongings when the house is being remodeled?  In the garage (no that is where the remodeling supplies are stored), in the basement (no that may be where you are living during the remodel), self-storage (this requires loading twice and then unloading twice).   If you are in the Milwaukee area, try a portable storage unit. 

These portable storage units can be delivered to your house, you pack them and then stored on your location or stored in a heated, secure warehouse.   When your remodel is done, the portable storage unit can be delivered back to your house. 

Call UNITS Milwaukee at 414-476-8648 to solve your remodeling storage problem with a portable storage unit.
