Typhoon Season in Shanghai: How YouYouSpace Keeps Your Belongings Safe, Dry & Secure

Trusted Moving & Self-Storage for Shanghai's International Community. Established in 2010, we've served members from more than 50 nationalities.

In Partnership with YouYouSpace.

Typhoon season has made itself felt in Shanghai this summer. After weeks of scorching heat, the city was hit by two powerful storms, bringing heavy rain and waterlogging to parts of Yangpu, Xuhui and other downtown districts.

For anyone keeping their belongings in storage, that raises an obvious concern: where exactly are they being stored?

At YouYou Space, all storage units are located on the second floor or above, keeping customers' belongings away from the ground-level flooding that can affect basement and first-floor storage facilities during periods of heavy rain.

Established in 2010, YouYou Space has served customers from more than 50 nationalities, with multilingual service available in English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese and other languages.

More Than Just Storage

Beyond self-storage, YouYou Space offers a range of moving and relocation services designed to make storing — or moving — your belongings a little less complicated.

Services include:

Door-to-door packing and storage - A professional moving team can pack and label belongings at your home, transport them to the storage facility and place them into your unit.
Local and domestic moving - Moving services are available within Shanghai as well as for long-distance moves within China, with multilingual consultants available for international residents.
International relocation - Door-to-door international moving services include packing, sea or air freight, cargo insurance, customs clearance and delivery at the destination.
Package receiving - Customers can use YouYou Space as a physical mailing address in China. Packages can be received on their behalf and placed directly into their storage unit for temporary safekeeping.

The package receiving service can also be useful for people who are travelling or temporarily outside Shanghai, as well as small business owners who need somewhere to consolidate online purchases from platforms such as Taobao and JD before arranging onward shipping.

Whether you need somewhere to keep your belongings during typhoon season, are moving apartments in Shanghai, or are preparing for an international relocation, YouYou Space combines storage, packing and moving services under one roof.
