Storage service for people moving abroad or out

There are countless  storage companies in Hong Kong that provide space rental services for you to store your valuables. For people moving out of the country, this kind of storage service can indeed assist you in keeping the items left in Hong Kong. However, the service quality and facilities of some local storage companies are questionable. Under the humid climate of Hong Kong, your valuables could be dampened or get molds as well.
