I just a got a storage unit last week for my ebay store. This video made me smile.

[@backfromburnout]

It was a journey! All the chopping and changing but I’m so glad I did it before I moved stock inside! Good luck with your unit!

[@ianjresells]

Congrats to you Mel, when you say you're going to do something, you follow through. You're an absolute star, i am so pleased for you. Many thanks for the tour, a very wise move.

[@ItSellsItself]

Love watching you succeed and the journey you are on to get there. Congrats on taking another step forward 🤩

[@sheshopsopshops8947]

What a great space, and so well organised. The packing area will be fab. I am debating getting some offsite storage so it has been really interesting listening to your ideas and thoughts on how big to go.

[@shelleyocallaghan6260]

You are amazing! Good on you for taking the leap to grow your business. It's scary to make such a big change, but it looks like it will work great :)

[@MarigoldKids-MARIGOLD-KIDS]

Looks so exciting! This video inspires me to get a storage unit to grow my little business now, what a great idea especially adding a packing station in there. Thanks for sharing. Cheers, Mari

[@scottgarven1744]

love it mel was great to watch and see the kids helping

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you so much. They all helped and worked hard. It was a big job moving all the stock.

[@mickyhno1]

One of your many UK subs here! Just wanna say thanks for taking the time out of your busy days to continually make this vids. Your work ethic, your positive spirit...just the way you roll day to day really is a joy to watch. I just know by the way you conduct yourself that you are a good person and you deserve your success with much more to come i'm sure! Doing all this whilst juggling a family as well....it's impressive and you're an inspiration to me! I wish you all the best for the future :)

[@julresells2999]

Fab Mel, I'm sure having that all away from the house will be very freeing. Lovely to see some of your family in the video! x

[@picking4profit]

ow wow, so nice to see you get sorted with that wonderful space!

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you so much, I'm loving the new work space.

[@heyitsg9278]

Thank you! This is very helpful for me, I was looking for ideas on how other people store their stock as I have to move my business in January because my current building is being torn down unfortunately.

[@backfromburnout]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much for watching!

[@lizqueensland118]

So exciting for you Mel - can't wait to see how fast you'll grow now!

[@backfromburnout]

Thanks Liz. I am making so many changes now so that I can!

[@gailgrooms997]

You make me smile with every video! You are very talented!

[@dorothyabed4233]

Great video! I went through all those upgrades concerning storage units until I consolidated and got a a 10x30 for $375. A lot of work moving everything but glad everything is in one spot:) all the best to you!!!

[@backfromburnout]

Oh that’s huge. 6x3 was the biggest unit available here. But these units are only a 2min drive from my house so they are so ha du and close. The units opposite mine are the same size so I might pop my name on the waiting list for them and if they become available and I’m in a position to grab them also I will :)

[@dorothyabed4233]

@@backfromburnoutDefinitely get your name on the waiting list! Those bigger units are always hard to find when you need them! It’ll save you a ton of time in the long run and your sanity!

[@beowulfcollectables]

Looks great Mel, you keep me motivated and thinking outside the square 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@GrtfulMel]

Congrats Mel! Whoooo Hooo🎉 🥳

Awesome job Mel - love the cheap family labour too :)

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you so much!

[@LauraBellaX]

fantastic! thanks for showing up the process. must feel great with all theat extra room at your house now! xx

[@KnightsLife]

Hi Mel, I just moved my stock back into a storage unit and did a video but haven't got as far as you yet with the racking! Great video.

[@christyler708]

3 units...Oh this is showing the Cult Leader up...lol....Well done, look forward to watching more videos of your journey.

[@backfromburnout]

Ha ha, love it! Thanks so much Chris!

[@davidnorton7464]

While watching the Block - I got jealous of the under stair storage and attic storage space lol

[@evethomas6812]

Hi Mel, I just found your videos today, love them! I was curious to see the comparison of your storage units to the ones I have rented here in the U.S. and they are very similar. Congratulations on your new storage space and wishing you all the best with your business! Eve

[@PastelCreationsByKatrina]

Didn’t know you could work from a storage unit 🙂? So exciting

[@imjody]

It was only a matter of time! This'll be lovely for you, Mel. :) I'm happy for ya! I hope sales continue to roll in fast for you! Oh and I just noticed your unit is 780 - that's one of the two phone number area code for my city in Edmonton, Canada. 😊

[@captainopshopnerd7406]

OMG Mel you can finally swing a cat at your house now hey?? :) great idea changing sheds, just get them to keep knocking through walls into the next ones hehehe

[@backfromburnout]

Not really Toby lol. My house is full of unlisted stock still 😂 I still have a lot to sort here at home.

[@DaveRepairs]

quality units, good size... typical prices lol .. i wasnt sure about moving ur work area into the small one, i am not sure. I had flexibility with my storage partner before so could get a unit withing days notice, they were pretty good . Are you running on batteries in there? any power? most of our kit now runs on batteries.

[@RSTao77432]

What size is this room? looking at units online....

[@backfromburnout]

I had 6x3 and 3x3 metre units.

[@jasonfoster7403]

Great vid Mel. Would you consider getting another unit to do the listings?

[@backfromburnout]

Hi Jason, I actually just hired another unit yesterday! So the plan is now I will be using that for deathpile and photographing and moving towards having ALL stock outside of my house. No stocking coming in to my house and then going to the unit (as it's a lot of double stepping). The stock thats currently at my house will stay here and be processed and then taken over to the units listed. Any new incoming stock will be taken straight to the units from now on and processed there. :)

[@jasonfoster7403]

@@backfromburnout That is awesome. Retro Resellers does the same thing. I think it is a great idea. Does it feel strange ot having all that stock at home?

[@backfromburnout]

@@jasonfoster7403 it's feeling amazing. Although I still do have a full double garage of unlisted stock! My focus is to not source for a few weeks and just try and get as much of the deathpile over to the units. I'm hoping by the end of the year I will have nothing here stock wise :) This year has been all about growth and a lot of expenses and new systems. Next year I'm going to be on fire! :)

[@anonymousanonymous7770]

What do you sell mostly?

[@stevedavenport1202]

Is it possible to rent a 300 square meter mini warehouse to accommodate your entire operation?

[@backfromburnout]

Pricing here is crazy for a warehouse but I am looking at a new storage option which I will share in a video this weekend :)

[@millera1026]

Hello Can you drop the link to the shelving

[@backfromburnout]

It's from Bunnings

[@jonathanchapman9593]

WOW, I'm so excited for you Mel. I love these types of video's where you are talking us through what you are doing step-by-step. But also while you're thinking and planning things out for yourself as you go along. I guess you've decided to reduce working from home to make space in your home etc. I'm so pleased for you ;) Jonathan xxx

[@SassyC18]

What size is this storage unit? Sorry if I missed that part

[@backfromburnout]

I have a 6x3m and two 3x3m units :)

[@fabulousfinds1045]

What size is your unit?

[@kyleterran6850]

You are so damn cute! Your excitement is palpable. That's a lot of overhead expense but I know you will make it work to your advantage. Love ya!

[@backfromburnout]

Thank you Kyle x

[@lisaa6099]

Do you think it will be too hot to pack in there in summer ? Anyway you are a hard worker and I admire you growing your business. Cheers 🌸🍀

[@a-khanation5279]

1:00 how long does it take you for making one shelve , for me 35 minutes to 1 hour

[@backfromburnout]

I'm getting pretty fast at them because I make so many. :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z3vJp5-Pdq2Lq7c

[@mrsresell2519]

Great move Mel..I have paid way more than that for a bricks and mortar shop with similar storage area..plus had to pay rates and had to sign a lease etc..good thing about storage units is it is usually just month to month..plus you are not "obligated" to be open during retail hours..so yep fantastic move..I bet you won't look back now! I remember seeing a rep from Canon once at a storage unit doing what you are doing..he had no power or lighting but he was all organised with a little mini packing and office area processing his orders for the day..so even a big Company like that was obviously utilising being able to save heaps of money using a storage unit..very excited for you!

[@backfromburnout]

Thanks so much! Yes, I did look at other types of storage options and this was certainly the cheapest of the lot. Baby steps, one small step at a time. And I'm so glad there are no other ongoing costs involved.

[@shaunbat3285]

Units great.... So what BnB range do you actually sell?

[@backfromburnout]

I sell mostly clothes, shoes and media :)

[@leanngunsten5617]

Looks amazing!!! 🤓

[@princevinny0073]

what size storage is this and how much u pay montly for it

[@backfromburnout]

I currently have one 3x6m and two 3x3m but have just hired another 3x6m to take over this weekend and I'm hoping to drop off one of the 3x3m then. I have been paying about $220 a week but will have a bit of an increase now I'm about to take on another unit

[@princevinny0073]

well it looks nice nice space for ur ebay store :) do u make enuff sales to cover the montly cost of it ? cause that could get pricey

[@backfromburnout]

@@princevinny0073 Oh yes, I sure do :)

[@therobinmasterstheory1636]

I would have got the plastic ones that you just snap in, they come in 4 or 5 shelf units.. less work.

[@backfromburnout]

I'm not sure I have seen plastic ones here. The main thing was they needed to be heavy duty to carry the weight of hundreds of the books

[@contentdeleted5428]

How big is that ? I’m Looking into a 10x10 😍

[@backfromburnout]

Ooooh 10x10 would be amazing. My storage unit facility didn’t have them that big. Mine are 3x6 and a 3x3.

@@backfromburnout wow no way?! Your unit in this video looks like a 10x20 😱

[@fatmanpickerpenn7444]

How hot does it get

[@backfromburnout]

The storage units didn't really get hot here.

[@TSunshineful]

Are you able to deduct the storage unit for tax purposes?

[@backfromburnout]

Yes 100% I can, it's a business expense

[@rickmatt3423]

Did you consider adding $640 a month to your mortgage in a new home, six car garage sounds nice.

[@backfromburnout]

Sadly not an option for us. We only currently rent. Our investment house is too small for us to live in. Very hard to get house loans with two self employed incomes and 4 dependants. Banks hate us lol.

[@Gigislaps]

The less you want to do something, the faster you should do it... talking to myself lol

[@MoneyMentalUK]

Never seen someone looking so hot putting up shelves before!

you look like one happy lady right now, but it's not storage units you need, it's a small warehouse lol.

Oh I know Ian, but they are so expensive where I live! One step at a time, I don't want to bite off more then I can chew. Baby steps to grow successfully :)
