Storage Tips
Starting Out
Why Choose Daffodil Storage?
Daffodil Storage offers self storage units, boat storage, RV storage, car storage, vehicle parking and
more. We strive to make storage easy and convenient for you. With locations in Tacoma, Puyallup,
Milton, Auburn, Buckley, Lacey, Port Orchard & growing, we have your storage needs covered
throughout Pierce County and the Kitsap Peninsula. Although we recognize you have many choices
when it comes to storage units, we're confident you will see why Daffodil Storage is right for you
once you know what we have to offer.
Unit Types and Sizes
We offer a large selection of available storage sizes. From 12.5 sq ft to 600 sq ft and everything in
between, we are sure to have the right size to fit your needs. At Daffodil Storage, you will find both
Drive-Up and Interior Storage units. Drive-Up units are convenient for larger items so you can unload
directly into your unit. Interior units are accessible through our wide and brightly-lit hallways and offer
extra protection from the elements while moving your items. A leasing associate will work with you to
find the size and type of unit best-suited to meet your needs. Try our interactive size guides on any
facility page to determine which size is best for you.
Temperature Controlled Units
We know your belongings are important and that's why we are proud to offer heated storage units.
Units offering this feature are heated above dew point using a radiant heat system or a forced air
system to help maintain the integrity of your items. This is especially helpful for storing papers,
pictures, textiles, or items that should not get wet. Not all of our units are heated, so make sure the
one you’re getting is heated if it best suits your stored goods. Ask our helpful leasing associates
today about the benefits of storing your goods in a heated unit.
Convenience
With locations throughout Pierce and Kitsap counties, locations in King county, Thurston county and
growing, we're confident you will find the right storage unit at the right price to meet your needs. All
of our locations offer push carts, moving supplies, and truck rentals to help make your move as
stress-free as possible. You can access your unit from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day of the year, so
your storage fits into your schedule when it’s convenient for you.
Safety and Security
The safety and security of your belongings is our top priority. For your peace of mind, all our storage
facilities are fenced with an electronic gate. Security cameras are dispersed throughout our
properties for additional protection. Some Daffodil Storage locations even offer individual door
alarms, smart locks, and on-site resident managers to provide an additional level of security.
Individual unit door alarms provide an electronic record every time your storage unit door is opened
and closed. Be sure to ask a leasing manager about features specific to the storage unit you are
looking at.
Reservation
Why Make A Reservation?
Reserving your unit at Daffodil Storage is free and you can change your mind anytime. No deposit
required! If you choose to make a reservation on our website you may find discounted pricing and
limited time savings. Should you have any questions or are simply not sure about the right size to
meet your needs, give us a phone call today and we'll be glad to help you.
Your Storage Unit...On Your Terms
We understand your plans may change and that's why your space is flexible. We don't use long-term
contracts and you can move out after one month, many months, or years! Changing your storage
unit to a larger or smaller size is not a problem either. Our storage consultants can help you resize to
fit your needs. When you no longer need our space, we ask for ten days advance notice to move
out. If your plans change, you can always change your move-out date as well! Know that we only
prorate in, we cannot prorate out, so we suggest moving out at the end of your selected month.
Lock In Special Rates and Discounts
Making a reservation online locks in the price and discount you see on our website. It also guarantees
that we will have the size you need when you are ready to move in. Rates and specials can change
quickly, so reserving your unit ensures your savings. Some discounts are only offered online. There is no
obligation or cost when making a reservation and you can cancel your reservation anytime.
FREE Online Reservations
When you reserve a unit we can make sure that size, price, and promotion are available until you
are ready to move-in. And did we mention, making a reservation is free? To make a reservation
online or over the phone, all we need is a name, phone number, and email address. Once you’ve
made a reservation on our website, we can email you a link to our Express Move-In online where
you can fill out the rental agreement and move in as early as the same day!*
Moving In
Be Move-In Ready
We're here every step of the way to make your storage experience exceptional. We offer boxes,
tape, packing supplies, rolling carts and truck rentals at our facilities to make your move easy. Our
leasing associates are an excellent resource for packing tips and tricks to help speed up your move.
Completing the Lease
When you're ready to move-in, you can choose one of two ways: online, or in person. Whichever you
choose, you will need a form of identification and a payment method. You can complete all of your
rental paperwork easily online from anywhere. Some of our offices also offer kiosks to complete your
lease, so that you can complete your rental agreement online but be able to ask office staff for help if
you need it.
Otherwise, if you prefer to fill out paperwork in our office, we recommend allowing 15 minutes to complete this process and please make sure to arrive during our office hours. Our leasing associates will review important terms and conditions and information about the facility at which you are storing. You can also purchase moving supplies in our office.

Loading Your Unit
Make sure you take advantage of our complimentary onsite moving supplies. Available moving
supplies include hand trucks, furniture dollies, and appliance carts. Certain items are never allowed
in a storage unit, including perishable food, live plants, animals, flammable liquids, and explosives.
Illegal items like drugs or certain firearms are also prohibited. It is suggested not to store priceless
heirlooms, art, or otherwise sentimental items.

Put plastic on the floor to protect items from dirt, and wrap any furniture or valuable items to prevent dirt, dust, and moisture from ruining anything. Boxes, plastic covers, and more can be purchased in our office to help make moving your items easy.

Managing Your Account
Managing your account online is easy through our website. Simply click the My Account button from
the top right of our website, select Manage Account, and pick the location at which you store from
the menu. From there you can manage your account, update your information, make payments, and
view your account history.
Accessing Your Unit
You have access to your unit or parking space every day of the year from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m, including
holidays. We never have keys to your unit so should you lose the keys to your unit please see a
leasing associate about regaining access. Please separate your keys as soon as you receive them
to prevent losing all of them at once and needing a lock cut.
Moving Out
We are sorry to see you go, but we get it! We recommend moving out on the last day of the month
because we cannot refund partial month’s rent. To vacate, simply give our office ten days written
notice. Should your plans change after giving notice, just keep us informed. On your move-out day,
make sure to remove the lock and empty out the unit completely. After vacating, please stop in the
office and let a leasing associate know so we can finalize your record. Otherwise, you may continue
being charged rent.
