Boston Student Storage for Summer 2017

May 14, 2017 by admin

Classes are done, and it’s time to find a place to stow your stuff until the fall semester. Student storage is a big business in Boston, and you want to make sure you’re choosing to keep your possessions in a safe place. Here are some tips to keep in mind when choosing a Boston student storage facility:

Choose a student storage facility that’s actually a business.

Despite what your friends told you, their parents are probably not ‘totally fine’ with you piling up boxes and bags of your stuff in their garage between semesters. And even if your friends have their own place, are they truly prepared to protect your possessions against fire, thieves, and bad weather? All it takes if for them to have one visitor with sticky fingers and you can lose everything. Don’t put your friends in that kind of awkward position. Choose a Boston student storage facility that’s actually a business. It will cost you a little bit of money, but you get greater peace of mind and can keep your relationships with your friends in good shape.

You can put a lot in student storage – but not everything!

Student storage units come in a variety of sizes, from the equivalent of a very large closet to a space large enough to park a car. Choose a student storage unit based on the amount of stuff you need to store. There’s no sense in paying for more space than you need! Be aware that there are some items that can not be kept in a storage unit, including live animals (this includes tarantulas, reptiles, and other tank based pets), live plants, perishable food items, toxic chemicals and more. Check with your Boston student storage facility owner before storing any questionable items: they will have clear guidelines making the do’s and don’ts very clear.

"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."

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!
