Student summer storage with UniMove is completely door to door. We send you a packing kit, you pack at your own pace, we collect your boxes from your door, we store everything safely for up to 16 weeks, and we redeliver it anywhere on the UK mainland when you are back. No van hire, no lugging things home, no stress. You book a collection online and we take care of the rest.
The four simple steps
1. We send your packing kit
If you need boxes, we post a packing kit to you in advance: 12 strong boxes, around one cubic metre of space, with tape and bubble wrap, delivered to your door. Everything is ready before you start.
2. You pack at your own pace
Pack whenever it suits you, around exams and plans. No rush. Label your boxes and you are ready for collection.
3. We collect from your door
We come to your accommodation and collect your packed boxes, from your student house, halls of residence or flat. You do not carry anything to a van or a depot. We handle the heavy lifting.
4. We store, then redeliver
We store your things in a clean, dry, CCTV-monitored facility, individually handled, for the whole summer, up to 16 weeks. Then we redeliver to wherever you are next, anywhere on the UK mainland, even if you have moved to a different university. Back to halls, a new house, or a new city, sorted.
