College Storage

How does the Campus Storage program work?
We will ship your packing kits roughly 1 to 4 weeks before your pick up date. We will then pick up your items from your apartment or college residence hall room on your designated date and time and transport them to our secure storage facility. When you are ready to schedule your delivery, log into your account and schedule your delivery online. When scheduling your delivery, please give us at least a 10 days' notice.

Is Campus Storage a self-service storage facility?
No, Campus Storage provides pickup and delivery services only. Customers will not have access to their items while in storage.

Will I have access to my stuff while in storage?
No, Campus Storage provides pickup and delivery services only. Customers will not have access to their items while in storage.

What if I don't know how much I am storing?
This is common as most students will figure out what they are actually going to store as they begin to pack. The movers will assess what you are actually storing at the time of pick-up, and your monthly bill will be calculated accordingly on move out day. You may add or remove items up until the point the movers calculate the total.

Can I store my furniture?
Yes! However we do not handle or store large futons or couches.

Is there anything I cannot store?
You may not store cash, hazardous materials, liquids, firearms, nor any perishable or illegal items. We do not recommend storing anything of extreme value as we do not insure against these items.

Can I store just one box?
Yes, you can absolutely store one box, but keep in mind there's a minimum monthly storage price per student. Please reference to our pricing page to view your school's minimum storage fee.

What if I am returning to campus earlier than most students?
If you are returning to campus early for Athletics, RA, Orientation Leader, etc., we suggest that you ship or take home with you necessities such as bedding and toiletries so you have them with you when you arrive back to campus early, then we will deliver the rest of your stored items on the delivery date you selected.

Our free delivery dates are designed to coincide with the move-in dates of the general student population. Due to the high volume and the logistic complexity of deliveries, we cannot guarantee any other free delivery dates than what is posted on our website.
