Be Smart about Summer Storage: A Boston Student’s Guide

May 27, 2019 by admin

With classes done and a whole summer ahead, the last thing you want to deal with is finding a place for your stuff. Luckily, Boston Pack and Ship has you covered. We offer safe, secure student storage at reasonable prices – great for college students or anyone else who needs to stow their gear on a short term basis.

Here’s what you need to know to get the most out of your summer storage experience:

You can’t store anything alive in your storage unit. That means no animals – not even turtles, tarantulas, or hermit crabs! It also means no houseplants. Storage units aren’t a hospitable environment for anything that needs fresh air, light, and care to survive.

Throw your garbage out before you get to the storage unit. We know you’re in a hurry and have things to do. But slinging that box of trash into your storage unit to deal with ‘later’ is going to be a nasty, stinky disaster when the fall rolls around.

Take a moment to make sure you’re not going to need anything you put into storage. While our Boston storage units are accessible 24/7, you still probably have better things to do with your time than run out to it every time you need your prescription medicine, car keys, or other necessary to everyday living items. Yes, this does really happen. Yes, you should double check.

Make sure you understand the payment arrangements you’ve made. Student storage units are only yours as long as you pay for them. All of those storage unit auction shows you see on TV actually have a basis in reality. If you don’t want to lose your stuff, make sure your storage bill is paid in full. We’ll help you understand the costs and when everything is due before you rent your unit so you’re never surprised.

"My daughter had moved to London and I was shipping her belongings to her: paintings, dishes, silverware, books, etc. I was very concerned about things arriving safely, especially the dishes and other breakable items. We were also concerned about expediting the customs process in London and making sure nothing was lost in a warehouse someplace. With Boston Pack and Ship managing the delivery, everything went extremely well. The people who came to pack were very professional and the people at the company were very knowledgeable about the process, including having contacts in London to get things through the customs process. And everything arrived safely. We couldn’t be more pleased with Boston Pack and Ship’s service."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
