Practical moving guidance
Plan moving and storage around your downtown Los Angeles home, apartment or loft. Share both full addresses, your inventory, elevator and loading arrangements, and the help you need with Tray.
The details make the difference
Explain when you must leave your current address and when you expect access to the next one. If a closing date or key handover is uncertain, say so. Give Tray a list of belongings going into storage and distinguish anything that should travel directly to the new home.
Ask about current availability, the storage arrangement proposed for your inventory, the expected duration and how an extension would work. Review the estimate and terms rather than assuming that collection, access and later delivery are all handled the same way.
The details make the difference
Clean and dry furniture, appliances and other belongings before packing them for storage. Use suitable protection for surfaces and corners and ask about the right materials for delicate pieces. Keep a labeled inventory with you so you know what has been stored.
Give every box a room and content label. If you expect to need an item sooner, discuss that need before collection instead of assuming it will be immediately accessible. Keep medication, essential documents, valuables and irreplaceable personal essentials with you.
Before moving day
Share an accurate inventory, both addresses, access details and your preferred dates. Tray can discuss the crew, equipment and packing your move calls for.

Confirm what may be stored, any preparation requirements and how retrieval is arranged. Ask the team about access procedures, notice requirements and any charges that may apply to your agreement. These details depend on the storage arrangement and should be reviewed before belongings are collected.
Tray advertises temperature-controlled storage. Ask what conditions and protection apply to your proposed arrangement, and review coverage and exclusions in the written terms. Do not treat a temperature-control description as a guarantee that every item is suitable for storage.
