General Questions

For all FAQs, please visit our Help Center

We understand that moving is inherently stressful – our goal is to make it as simple and easy as possible! Our pricing is simple and affordable with no unfair fees.  Our team is full of friendly, outgoing, and competent people.  Simply put, we offer a great service at a great price.

Our Mega Box is approximately 24”x17”x15” – or 3.8 cubic feet.  One Mega Box can fit an entire bed set (i.e. comforter, flat and fitted sheet, and two pillows)!  A typical dorm room or small apartment requires 4-6 Mega Boxes to pack.

We provide only the MEGA BOX! Customers are free to use other boxes and/or packaging of any size, but we recommend you use our Mega Box since it is constructed for student use. You can also store free-standing items, such as lamps, bikes, microwaves, suitcases, etc.

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.

 

We then deliver packing supplies at the date/time/location of your choosing.

24-72 hours before your appointment you’ll receive an email with your pickup appointment window.

On the morning of your pickup you’ll receive a text message with a link where you can track our truck throughout the day.  Our crew will contact you when they are on the way to your location and when they have arrived.  They will make sure all of your items are labeled correctly, build your invoice, load your items onto the truck, and bring them back to our secure storage facility where your items will remain until you return to campus.

To see a more detailed breakdown of the entire process please go here:  https://storagesquad.force.com/HelpCenter/s/article/how-our-service-works

We can ship pre-packaged items anywhere in the continental US via UPS ground. Items for shipping are picked up on the same schedule as our storage pickups. You can either select to have your items shipped right away or we can ship them at a later date of your choice! Select this service on your Sign Up Form at the bottom of the second page. Get more info about shipping and pricing at www.storagesquad.com/shipping/.

To see our packing supply handout schedule, pickup, delivery, and shipping dates, first Choose Your School then select the “Availability” tab to view your school’s calendar. We typically deliver boxes during the last week of classes, offer pickups during the 7-10 days prior to the last day of finals, and deliver 7-10 days prior to the first day of classes in the fall. However, we can still accommodate dates outside of our standard windows but fees may apply at certain locations.

We store your items in a secure humidity controlled storage facility near your campus. All of our warehouses are equipped with commercial grade dehumidifiers to protect against humidity and mold/mildew. We highly recommend that customers put their clothing items in a plastic bags before placing them in boxes or suitcases to protect against minor dust or dirt while in transit.

We don’t allow public access at our warehouse for security reasons.  We make storage simple by picking up and delivering your items on demand so you never have to visit a storage unit again!  If you have a special request and need something delivered from one of your stored items please reach out to our Customer Support team by email [email protected] or calling 830-200-0269

All of our warehouses are equipped with commercial grade dehumidifiers to reduce moisture. Not all of our warehouses have automated temperature controls, but each is continuously ventilated during summer months.

Pricing & Payment

All pricing is on a per-item basis, and the price of individual items depends on the size of the item. Pricing ranges from $37 for small items (under 2 cubic feet) to $67+ for extra-large items (5-7 cubic feet). Our Signature Mega Box, which is large enough to fit a full bed set (comforter, flat and fitted sheet, and two pillows) comes in one size (3.8 cubic feet) and starts at $47 to store for the entire summer or per 4 month term. Both the empty Mega Box and tape are provided free of charge! For more specific pricing, please Choose Your School.

If you would like to get your items picked up or delivered directly from your room there may be an additional fee of $25. This charge is for your ENTIRE order, not per item. Please be sure to have all of your items packed and labeled before our crew arrives.  Remember, Main Entrance service is FREE if you bring your items outside to us!

We are the most affordable student storage company in the country. Check out the price comparison on your school’s page to see how we stack up against local competitors.

We accept most major credit cards.  Please go here for more information on viewing/paying your invoice:  https://storagesquad.force.com/HelpCenter/s/article/paying-your-invoice

SHIPPING INFO

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.

DECLARED VALUE & PROTECTION

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.

When scheduling an appointment, you can choose to have mattress bags and moving blankets delivered along with your other packing supplies. Moving blankets can be rented for $5/each and mattress bags can be purchased for $15/each. Please note if you do not wish to purchase a mattress bag from us you must provide one on your own as we cannot store unprotected mattresses.
