🧳 Storing Other Items — No Extra Charges

Not everything fits neatly in a box — and that’s fine. We offer flexible storage combinations without hidden fees for non-boxed items. Here’s how we count your items:

🔄 Box Equivalents

  • ✔️ 1 small suitcase (up to 60 × 40 × 40 cm) = 1 box
  • ✔️ 1 large suitcase (larger than 60 × 40 × 40 cm) = 2 boxes
  • ✔️ Your own large box (over 60 × 40 × 40 cm) = 2 boxes
  • ✔️ Guitar in hard case = 1 box
  • ✔️ TV (must be in a TV box) = 1–3 boxes
  • ✔️ Office chair = 3 boxes
  • ✔️ Mountain bike = 4 boxes
  • ✔️ Furniture (e.g. desk) = 4 boxes
  • ✔️ Foldable rails, clothes horses, or mirrors = 0 boxes (no charge)

📦 Example Package Combinations

  • 📦 4 Box Deal = 2 large suitcases
  • 📦 12 Box Deal = 10 boxes + 1 large suitcase
  • 📦 20 Box Deal = 12 boxes + 1 bike + 2 large suitcases

FAQs

1. How does your student storage service work?
We deliver free boxes and tape, you pack, and we handle collection, secure storage, and redelivery.
2. What can I store?
You can store anything. The only things we don't store are perishable, hazardous, or illegal items. If you have items that can’t be boxed, it's best to WhatsApp us a picture and we’ll advise you on the best way to go about it. You can also use your own suitcases, bags, and boxes for storage — for example, one suitcase is equivalent to one box.
