College Moving Tips: Temporary Storage

Apr 22, 2015

Are you a college student heading home for break or maybe even traveling abroad? Regardless of your situation, you may be a little stressed and might need some help. Here is an overview of services that will help alleviate the stress and headache of moving and storing your items to and from college.

Services like Collegeboxes let you pack your things in boxes, then they pick up the box and store it till you are ready for them at your dorm or house. This option works even if it’s for the entire summer or just for winter break. Heading home for good? They will ship those boxes to your home, too. How about needing extra space in the dorm room or need a place for the snowboard? Get a local storage unit for those things that you don’t want lying around. Whatever the case may be, these solutions are sure to help.
