First, you create an account through our website and submit a signup form where you’ll be able to enter your contact info, select a pickup date, and request FREE packing supplies.

Shipping cost varies depending on item size, weight, and its destination. For an estimate of your shipping cost, please use our shipping calculator found at www.storagesquad.com/shipping/
We can ship any item that is securely packaged in a cardboard box or suitcase/luggage before being in our possession. Items which are not properly packed for shipping or that require special protection or shipping methods cannot be shipped by us. For example, large unboxed items such as furniture, tv’s, micro-fridges, and bicycles cannot be shipped. We also cannot ship plastic bins as they are brittle and will break in transit.
We strongly recommend not shipping items such as televisions, printers, etc. Televisions are not intended to be shipped via UPS ground and will often not be covered by UPS insurance. If you ship a television or other electronic item requiring special attention, please note that you are doing so at your own risk!
All insurance claims for shipments are handled by UPS. UPS insures each package for $100 by default. If an item is damaged while being shipped by UPS, Storage Squad does not offer any coverage as this damage is out of our control. If you would like additional declared value insurance on your shipment, please let us know prior to shipping your items so that we can process this along with your shipment. Below is a detailed overview of UPS insurance policies:
“UPS’ liability for loss or damage is limited to US$100.00 on shipments with no declared value. If the value of your goods exceeds US$100.00, you can declare a higher value, up to US$50,000.00 per package, or US$100,000 per pallet for UPS Worldwide Express FreightSM (subject to terms and conditions) by entering the declared value in the UPS shipping system used and paying an additional charge.”
Our crew reinforces the outside of each box shipped with additional tape. However, we strongly recommend that all items are prepared and protected by the customer prior to shipment. Please pay special attention to your items contained within each box as we are unable to apply additional protection to anything inside.
Each item you store includes $100 of free Declared Value protection, meaning, in the extremely rare event that a stored item is damaged or lost, you are automatically protected up to $100 for each affected item. Additional protection may be purchased for a cost of $5 per $100 of Declared Value protection added. The maximum protection per item is $400 and the maximum protection for all items combined is $1,000.
Declared Value must be allocated on a per item basis. If you decide to purchase additional Declared Value you will receive small orange Declared Value stickers from our crew at your Packing Supply Handout. The number of stickers you receive corresponds to the amount of Declared Value purchased. Each sticker equals $100 of additional Declared Value. It is the customer’s responsibility to allocate and attach these stickers to the items they would like to further protect.
There are certain items like glassware, mirrors, Ikea furniture, and others (please check our Terms and Conditions) that cannot be insured! Electronics not in their original packaging can only be reimbursed for the cost of storage.
Please note that Declared Value protection refers to the total value of a package/item, not $100 for each individual article contained within.
Each item you store, except for a few fragile items or unboxed electronics, comes with $100 of declared value protection. You can purchase additional declared value on a per item basis for $5 per $100 of additional declared value.
Please note that the $100 default declared value protection refers to the total value of a package/item and is not $100 per individual article contained within a package/item. For example, a Mega Box containing three jackets, each valued at $100, does not have a declared value insurance amount of $300 by default. Rather, it would still only be $100. The $100 amount is for the combined value of all contents of the package/item. In this instance, a customer should request an additional $200 of declared value insurance ($10 cost) on this package to cover the full value of the Mega Box in the rare event of damage or loss.
When scheduling an appointment, you can choose how many increments of $100 additional declared value protection you would like to purchase. This amount will be distributed to you at your Packing Supply Handout via Declared Value Stickers. Each sticker represents $100 of additional insurance and you will place the desired amount next to the label on each item you wish to insure. For example, if you wish to add $200 of additional declared value insurance onto one of your Mega Boxes, simply place two Declared Value Stickers next to the label. Don’t forget to remind our crew on what items you have placed insurance on when we arrive!
There are several items that cannot be insured. Glass or extremely fragile items, electronics outside of their original packaging, particleboard furniture, cash, and jewelry are a few. Please note that the $100 is per item stored, not each individual article contained with a box/bin. Please consult our Terms and Conditions to see if your items can be insured.
Yes – you can only add $400 of additional insurance to the $100 of included insurance on each item. We also have a limit of $1,000 per order. Please do not store items worth more than $400. Please note that the $100 is per item stored, not each individual article contained with a box/bin.
