I need to store stuff for several months

[ramseya]

I need to store stuff for either 3 months or 10+ months. Anyone know a good storage company that would be in the Philadelphia area (like a national or northeast regional company) and how much I can expect to pay in rent?

Pretty much it's just books, clothes, CDs... I also have a mattress that I'm not sure what to do with. Could that be stored somewhere to?

I have an apartment rented in Philly for just this purpose. There is nothing illegal there yet and I have already pre-broken the front door lock to make insurance claims as easy as possible. PM me for the address (the window is also unlocked in the back). Let me know if the stuff inside the baseball cards is still there. Hubba hubba, winkedy winkedy. My man!

anyone have any experience with any storage companies? Are they all the same?

Use a major company, not a random little one ... and one in a good part of town, which has locks on the doors, and looks reasonably nice. (Use common sense, in other words.) Other than that, yeah, use whatever is convenient and cheap.

And if possible, bring along Jodie Foster once you go to reclaim your stuff.

Public Storage is pretty well distributed across the country.
