College Students: Three Things To Know When Choosing a Storage Unit

March 14, 2021 by admin

If life in your college housing situation is getting a little cramped but you don’t want to send stuff back to your parents’ place, choosing to put some of your things into storage makes sense. Lots of students use a storage unit as an off-site closet: an ideal way to handle off-season clothing, sports gear, art supplies, and other items you just don’t have the room for in your living area.

Here are three things you’ll want to know when choosing a storage unit:

Is the student storage company well-established and reliable?

Nobody wants to put all of their things into storage only to be unable to access them again at a later date. The most important criteria to consider when choosing a storage company is whether or not it’s a legitimate business that’s been around for a long time. We’ve provided summer storage for students and secure student storage for decades. Don’t trust your things to some fly-by-night vendor no one’s ever heard of!

When will I be able to access my stuff?

The best student storage providers allow for 24/7 access to storage units. This means you can get to your things when you want or need to, on your schedule, without any worry or stress. Make sure you check this information out before you rent a student storage unit. Not all facilities have the same rules!

What’s the pricing for summer student storage and when is my payment due?

If you’ve ever been stuck watching cable tv in the morning, you’ve likely seen the storage auction TV shows where people bid to purchase abandoned storage units. The way to avoid your stuff going on the auction block is to make sure your storage bill is paid in full and on time. Your student storage provider will be able to provide you with this information!

"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."
