Additionally, you can pack duffle bags and suitcases, and store those with us as well. Please check out packing guide here for some tips on packing.

In order to offer the ultimate level of convenience to college students, Storage Bucket often negotiates operating agreements with universities. When we are able to obtain such agreements, we don't just pick-up your belongings, we pick them up directly from your dorm room after you've already left campus for the summer! That's right, you don't even need to be present when we come get your things! Through the agreement with your university, we are given access to your locked dorm room to pick-up your things. This makes your job very easy: pack and enjoy your summer!
Alternatively, if we do not have an agreement with your univerisity, you must be present to sign in our moving team during move-out and move-in periods.
Please NOTE: we do not have an agreement with every university we operate at. Check with us or your university to clarify if you are unsure.
