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.

"I'm in the military and I took an assignment in Texas to be closer to family in a town outside of Houston. That meant getting about 17 boxes of stuff—ranging from household goods to clothing—from my home in Marston Mills, Massachusetts to Missouri City, Texas. Working with Boston Pack and Ship was a pleasure. They were very helpful and answered all my questions. On the day of pickup, they were in and out within 15 minutes. I had regular updates from Bill Yankee and his staff. In fact, my stuff arrived a day early! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I didn't have to worry about a thing."
