Boston Student Storage: What You Need To Know

March 10, 2017 by admin

When the semester comes to an end, chances are your housing arrangements will as well. Whether you’re leaving the dorms or need to find new student housing, you’re going to have to move your stuff. If you don’t have a place to move your stuff to – and you don’t want to schlep it all around with you as you head for a summer job, internship, or travel plans – student storage is the answer.

In Boston student storage, your possessions are kept safe and secure. Each storage unit locks securely. Storage units keeps your possessions protected from the elements. Your things will be kept dry: great news for books, tech and televisions, bedding, sports gear and everything else!

Here’s what you need to know about Boston student storage right up front. No matter what storage facility you choose, there are some things that can not be stored in your student storage unit. This includes anything that’s alive – no pets allowed, including reptiles, snakes, insects and arachnids — or plants. Hazardous or flammable chemicals are also prohibited, as are explosive items, firearms, and a few other things. If you’re not sure if something you have can be kept in student storage, ask! The storage facility staff will have the answers you need.

Student storage units must be kept clean. You are responsible for the state of a student storage unit you rent. Check your rental agreement for the particulars. In some instances, ground cloths or drip trays may be required for vehicle storage. Don’t keep bags of garbage in your student storage unit – garbage will rot, and leaking garbage bags stain storage unit floors, creating an expense you will be financially responsible for!

Make sure you understand the terms of your student storage agreement, including how much you need to pay, when you need to pay it, and what happens if you don’t pay your storage fees. Despite the popularity of TV shows like Storage Wars, people are sometimes surprised to learn that failing to pay storage rental fees can damage your credit and you can lose your stuff!

"In August, my 83-year-old father fell down the cellar stairs and broke his elbow. Following elbow replacement surgery in Boston he was transferred to skilled nursing care in West Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the injury left him unable to maintain his own household. My husband and I made the decision to move him to our home in California. My time frame was incredibly short - 11 days till departure via airplane to CA. I needed to pack and ship whatever items would be going to CA. We would not be moving the entire household - just several paintings, memorabilia, clothing and a large full keyboard electronic piano. After calling several moving companies that required large weight minimums to bid the job, I was referred to Joe Fell at Boston Pack and Ship.

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He calmly explained the shipping options available through Boston Pack and Ship and they could definitely handle the job. Joe helped me locate appropriately sized shipping boxes so that I could pack things up myself, thereby saving money. He also stayed in constant contact with me via phone and email, coaching me through the shipping process. We scheduled pickup nine days after my arrival in MA. Joe became an instant friend to me throughout this extremely stressful time. His caring nature made this difficult move a great deal easier. I am very grateful to have found this wonderful company. "

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!
