When your old lease ends before the new keys arrive
Timing is what most storage questions come down to: your York lease runs out a while before you can get into the next place. Locked in a vault at our Felton yard off Delta Rd, your load waits until the first date, then comes back out on your call — whether that’s a few days or several months on.
Storage is priced one crate at a time — a one-bedroom usually needs just one, a two-bedroom two, a three-bedroom three. Each vault crate is $150 a month, and if we handle both the load-in and the return delivery, the opening two weeks cost nothing. Whatever we store sits on the standard released-value floor of sixty cents a pound, and you can lift protection as far as $1,000,000.
Sample storage costs
| Situation | Crates | Per month |
|---|---|---|
| One-bedroom, short bridge | 1 crate | $150 |
| Two-bed condo, home to home | 2 crates | $300 |
| Three-bed house between sales | 3 crates | $450 |
| Four- or five-bed, extended hold | 4–5 crates | $600 – $750 |
| Seasonal or relocation stash | 2–3 crates | $300 – $450 |
Loading those crates and later drawing them back out is a flat charge off our usual rates — $140/hr for two movers, $190/hr for three — agreed before the first box is touched. Whatever we hold and haul keeps its full nine-month window to file a claim.
How a self-storage side-trip runs up the bill
Going the DIY route means paying movers twice over: one crew to fill a rented unit clear across town now, and another weeks later to haul it all back out. Store it through us and one crew crates everything a single time, keeps it warm and dry across the cold months, then carries that exact load right to your new doorstep. Combine it with either a residential or a long-distance move, and one team runs the whole thing, load-in to drop-off.
Where every dollar of your Felton, PA flat price goes
- Dry, climate-held vault bays sit inside our own gated yard on Delta Rd in Felton
- Book the round trip and the first two weeks your goods rest with us are on the house
- Every crate is sealed, logged on an inventory sheet, and kept in a bay of its own, never mixed into a communal pile
- We roll each load with pallet jacks, so nothing gets dragged over the warehouse concrete
- As soon as the keys to the new spot land, redelivery rolls back out at the very rate you already signed
- Those racked bays take pianos and gun safes too, every item guarded up to $1,000,000
So where does the price land?
The clock starts at $140/hr for two movers with the truck — or settle the whole thing with one signed York-area flat rate spelled out on a single page
Baked into that rate: the furniture blankets, the hand trucks, the rolls of stretch film, and the patient carries a Dallastown condo or a Red Lion walk-up calls for — along with any COI a York apartment tower or a suburban HOA needs on file before load-day. Add a third mover and the rate steps up to $190 an hour.
