Questions and answers

The things students ask us most. If yours is not here, send it to us.

What can I store?

Boxes up to 60 × 40 × 40 cm and 20 kg, suitcases, bags and other household items such as bikes, small furniture and kitchen items. Very large or heavy things are quoted individually, so ask us first.

What can't I store?

Please do not send food, drink, liquids, anything flammable or hazardous, or anything illegal. If you are unsure, ask before you pack.

Do you pack for me?

No. You pack your own box, which makes it easier to find things when you return. We supply the standard box on summer bookings.

When do you collect and deliver?

On weekdays only, never at weekends or on bank holidays. We send your collection and delivery slot the day before.

When do I get my things back?

Full summer storage covers you until 30 September. Most students are back in September or October. If you need more time, book short term storage instead.

I only need a few days. Can you help?

Yes. Short stays of up to one, two or four weeks are priced from £20 a box. Boxes are not included on short stays, so add one for £5 if you need it.

What happens if I miss my slot?

A missed slot or a change of address on the day is £15. If you know in advance that you cannot make it, tell us and we will rearrange the slot.

How does payment work?

You pay online when you book, and that confirms your booking. We send your collection and delivery time slots the day before.

Are my things insured?

Yes. Every box is insured for up to £100 while it is in our care, from collection until it is delivered back to you. If you are storing something worth more than that, tell us when you book.

Can you post my things back to me?

Yes, to any address in the UK and to most countries abroad. Send a request on the Postage page and choose UK or international, and we reply with a price and a posting date. You pay nothing until you agree to the price.

Where do you operate?

Durham for now. We plan to add more university cities in the future.
