What Is Itemized Storage? How It Works and Why It's Smarter
June 18, 2025
The Alternative to Self-Storage in Vancouver💡📦
When most people think of storage, they picture a giant empty locker: cold, expensive, and mostly full of air. But not everyone needs that much space. Maybe you’ve just got a snowboard and a few boxes. Or some oversized gear and nowhere to put it.
So why pay for a full unit if you don’t need to? That’s where itemized storage comes in.
Instead of renting a traditional storage unit, itemized storage lets you pay only for the items you store. Whether it’s one item or twenty, your cost adjusts with you. No wasted space. No overpaying. Just flexible, affordable storage that works for your life.
How To Get Itemized Storage
Your in the right place: Cache Depot. Here's how it works:
Get your storage rate. Over our website or call us at 778-955-4769.
Book your drop off. Then bring your items to our secure warehouse.
Access on your schedule. It's free, drive-up, and we'll have your item ready.
Once your items are in our facility, we log and store each item (yes, individually) in our staff-only facility. Imagine the warehouse section of IKEA but private, with many cameras and no public access.
Why Itemized Storage
Most self-storage companies rent you a fixed-size unit. Whether you fill it halfway or stack it to the ceiling, you’re still paying the full price.
Itemized storage flips that model.
✅ No paying for empty space
✅ No price hikes after 3-month "deals"
✅ No additional fees for access, admin and locks
✅ No public access or security risks
✅ Just affordable, flexible storage that grows (or shrinks) with you
It’s more like a storage service than a rental. Because life changes and your storage should, too.
