Every student looks forward to their holidays. It’s a time when you can momentarily switch off from learning (and partying!), visit family and friends and the opportunity to really cleanse your mind of demanding academic life.

What requires your attention, however, before embarking on your journey home, are the contents of your house. Naturally you can’t feasibly carry all of your worldly possessions on your back – you wouldn’t even make it on the train anyway – and equally you’d be reluctant to leave everything unattended for weeks on end. Plus, imagine what state your furniture and kitchen appliances would be in after perpetual partying by your beloved housemates?

Here at Easistore we like helping students with their storage issues, mainly because we want you to relax during your time off, but we also offer affordable prices to make the process even more stress-free. But, before we get to the storage stage, we wanted to impart some tips on what you should ask yourself when considering making that transition.

How much stuff do I have?
This may be an obvious question, but you’ll be surprised how easy it is to underestimate how much you actually own. The best thing to do is start organising items into specific groups, for example, appliances, dry foods, clothes, etc, to visualise everything. You can then determine how much, but more importantly, which items have the most value or are fragile.

What will I put it all in?
Once you’ve worked out how much you have you can then decide what will need to be placed in either cardboard boxes, bags or more robust containers. We provide a variety of plastic boxes, cardboard boxes, jumbo utility bags and even a queen mattress bag!

How will I get it to storage?
If you can’t rely on family or friends to collect your belongings, you can use one of our vans completely free of charge. And, when you arrive at one of our storage facilities, our friendly team will be waiting to help you unload and store.

How long can I need to store it for?
Often you’re not exactly sure how long you need to store your possessions for, but don’t panic, we offer short and long term solutions for students.

Will my possessions be safe?
Absolutely. Every one of our storage facilities are monitored by digital CCTV, 24/7 heat and smoke sensitive alarm systems, as well as regulated ventilation. We even provide specialist Comprehensive Storage Insurance as well as swipe card entry, so you’ll certainly sleep well at night.

How much will it cost me?
Our renowned Price Match Guarantee means that we are adamant about not getting beaten on price. If you find a lower quotation, bring it to us and we’ll promise to beat it!

See how our safe and affordable Student Storage can make your move just that little bit easier – and cheaper!
