Boston College Students: Things *NOT* to Put in Summer Storage

April 27, 2018 by admin

The semester is coming to an end. Soon, your summer plans will start. It’s time to figure out what you’re going to do with all your stuff. Renting a student storage unit for the summer is one affordable option that allows you to keep your in one convenient, secure location. When classes start again, all your stuff will be there waiting for you to pick it up. That means you don’t have to worry about it while you’re traveling, working, or having adventures.

We work hard to provide the best student storage in Boston. That means we do have to have a few rules regarding things that can not go into storage units, in order to keep things safe and sanitary for everyone. Here are a few examples of items that can not go into summer storage:

1) Your Pet Llama Llary: As adorable as Llary might be, we can’t allow him – or any live animals of any type whatsoever – in the storage facility. It’s not safe for them. Live animals need care, fresh air, sunlight and attention to survive. Live animals include exotic pets like tarantulas, hermit crabs, turtles, snakes and more.

2) Your Roommate: People can’t stay in storage units. Ever.

3)The Radioactive Science Project That Got You An “A”: No hazardous materials are allowed in the storage facility.

4) Your Garbage: Believe it or not, this happens more than you think. Please don’t put your garbage in summer storage. Remember, everything needs to be removed from the storage unit at the end of your rental, so any garbage you store is garbage you’re going to need to remove later!

5)Your Guns: All firearms of every type are prohibited. No old guns, no new guns, no big guns, no little guns, no guns of any sort whatsoever. Also, no ammunition and no explosives – including fireworks.

6)Your Collection of Artisanal Cheeses: Perishable food should not be kept in student storage. Food that requires refrigeration should not be kept in summer storage. Food rots quickly in storage units, resulting in bad smells and potentially attracting vermin. You don’t want to deal with that. Eat your perishable food or give it to someone who wants it!

7)Your Plants

"My mother was living in a retirement community in Massachusetts. After she passed, there were three groups of items that needed to go to three different locations. One of those groups contained a large china cabinet. This had much sentimental value for me but it needed refinishing before having it shipped to my home in Virginia. I was referred to Boston Pack and Ship. They advised me to ship it directly to a refinisher to save me from having to move the cabinet one more time. Boston Pack and Ship stored the china cabinet while I searched for a refinisher near my home. Long story short, I found a refinisher here in Virginia and Boston Pack and Ship prepared the china cabinet for delivery. It arrived safe and sound to the refinisher on schedule who said it was ‘beautifully wrapped and protected'. I can't thank Bill and Boston Pack and Ship enough for their help in getting my china cabinet to me safely. Most importantly, they were caring and patient at a difficult time in my life."

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!
