UK delivery and international shipping
Getting Your Belongings Back - Delivery Back to University, Anywhere in the UK or Worldwide
When you are ready for your belongings back we deliver them to you, wherever that is. Going back to the same university next year, moving to a new city or heading home to another country, your move coordinator arranges delivery from our Essex facility to your door. You do not need to do anything until you are ready.
Going Back to University Next Year?
This is the most common reason students use our service and it is the simplest delivery to arrange. When your new halls or student house is ready for you to move in, contact your move coordinator with your new address and your preferred delivery date and we will bring everything back to you. It does not matter if your new address is different from where we collected. If you were in student halls last year and are moving into a private house this year, we deliver to the new address without any issue. We recommend giving us at least one week’s notice for UK deliveries so we can confirm your slot, though we can often accommodate shorter notice if needed. A lot of returning students book their storage at the end of one year and have everything delivered straight to their new address at the start of the next, meaning they never need to carry anything themselves between years.
Moving to a New City or Town After Graduating?
If you are staying in the UK but heading somewhere new after graduation, we deliver your stored belongings directly to your new address. Whether you are starting a graduate job in Manchester, moving back to your family home in Cornwall or beginning a new chapter in a city you have never lived in before, we deliver from our Essex facility to any UK postcode. Distance is not a factor and you do not need to be in London or the South East to receive your delivery. Contact your move coordinator with your delivery postcode and we will confirm timing and cost within one working day.
One Point of Contact for Your Entire Move
One person handles all of the organisation for your move including collection, packing if needed, documentation, freight booking and delivery updates. There are no call centres and no being passed between departments. Your move coordinator’s details are confirmed when you book and they remain your single point of contact from collection through to delivery, whether that is around the corner or on the other side of the world.
Student Storage Delivery and Shipping Prices
UK delivery and all international shipments are quoted individually by your move coordinator based on your destination and the total volume of your belongings.

Student Storage Frequently Asked Questions - Collection, Pricing, Delivery and University Coverage
Which universities do you collect student storage from?
We collect from more than 40 universities across London, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire and Cambridge. In London this includes UCL, King’s College London, LSE, Imperial College, Queen Mary University of London, City University, Goldsmiths, SOAS, Brunel, Westminster, University of Greenwich, University of East London, London South Bank University, Middlesex University, Kingston University, University of Roehampton, UAL, Regent’s University, Birkbeck, St George’s University of London and Ravensbourne. In Essex we collect from the University of Essex in Colchester and Southend-on-Sea, Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford and Writtle University College. In Kent we cover the University of Kent in Canterbury, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University of Greenwich Medway campus, and the University for the Creative Arts in Canterbury and Rochester. In Surrey we collect from the University of Surrey in Guildford, Royal Holloway University of London in Egham, St Mary’s University Twickenham and both UCA Epsom and UCA Farnham. In Hertfordshire we collect from both campuses of the University of Hertfordshire in Hatfield. In Cambridge we serve the University of Cambridge across all colleges and Anglia Ruskin University’s Cambridge campus.
How does student storage with collection work?
You book your storage unit online, choose the size you need and select a collection date. Our own team arrives at your address on the agreed day, whether that is a university managed hall of residence, a private student house or a shared flat. One hour of loading time is included in all packages, and our team will load everything into the vehicle for you so there is no heavy lifting involved. Your belongings are then transported directly to our secure, CCTV monitored and alarmed facility in Grays, Essex, where they are stored for the duration of your package. When you are ready to have your belongings back, you contact your move coordinator and we arrange delivery to any UK address or internationally. The entire process from booking to collection can be arranged within 48 hours in most cases.
How much does student storage cost?
Our summer packages run for 16 weeks from May to September and include collection from your door. A small student room package covering 15 sq ft costs £249 for three months, which works out at £15.56 per week. A large student room package covering 35 sq ft costs £399, equivalent to £24.94 per week. A full one-bedroom flat package at 70 sq ft costs £549, and a two-bedroom or house share package at 105 sq ft costs £699. All prices include collection from your door at the address you provide. After the initial three months, your storage continues at the same lower package rate rather than the standard pay as you go rate, so there is no price jump if you need to store for longer.
Is student storage with collection cheaper than renting a self-storage unit separately?
Yes. When you add up three months of standard pay as you go self-storage plus a separate collection service, the total cost is consistently higher than our packages. For a small student room, the comparable cost without our package is around £345, meaning our package saves you £96. For a large student room the saving is £138, for a one-bedroom flat it is £204 and for a house share it is £275. The saving exists because we include collection in the package price rather than charging it separately. We do this because the whole point of student storage is that you should not need to organise a van or make multiple trips to a storage unit at the end of term.
Can you deliver my belongings internationally after storage?
Yes. We offer international shipping from storage to destinations worldwide, including Europe, the USA, Canada, Australia, the UAE, China, India, Nigeria and many more countries. We manage all export documentation on your behalf and work with established freight partners to arrange door-to-door delivery. You do not need to have stored with us to use the international shipping service. If you are an international student returning home after graduation and your belongings are in your student house or halls, we can collect directly from your address and ship from there without any storage in between. Get your international shipping quote through the contact form on this page before you make other arrangements, as shipping timelines and costs vary significantly by destination.
Do I need to be present when you collect?
You or a trusted representative should be at your address at the agreed collection time. This allows our team to confirm your items, work through the loading efficiently and complete any paperwork with you before they leave. One hour of loading time is included in all packages. If your building has specific access requirements such as a porter lodge, a key safe, a loading bay booking system or parking permit arrangements, please let your move coordinator know in advance when you confirm your collection date. Our team are experienced with university halls and student accommodation across all the areas we serve, so most access situations are straightforward with a little advance notice.
What if my university is not listed on your county pages?
Get in touch directly. Our collection coverage is wider than the universities listed on the site and we regularly collect from campuses, private student streets and halls of residence that do not appear individually on our pages. If you are in London, Essex, Kent, Surrey, Hertfordshire or Cambridge, we will almost certainly be able to collect from your address. Contact us via WhatsApp, phone or the quote form on this page and we will confirm availability for your specific location, usually within the same day.
What is the difference between self storage and collection and delivery storage?
Self storage means you transport your belongings to our facility yourself and can access them during our opening hours. Collection and delivery storage means we collect your belongings from your address, store them in our facility and deliver them back when you need them. You do not visit the facility at all. For most students, collection and delivery storage is the right choice because it removes the need to hire a van, borrow a car or make multiple journeys at the end of term. Our summer packages use the collection and delivery model. We also offer indoor self storage units at our Grays, Essex facility for students who prefer drive-up access or who need to retrieve items during the summer.
How far in advance should I book my student storage collection?
We can usually arrange collection within 48 hours of booking, but for summer storage we recommend booking as early as possible. Collections in May and June are our busiest period and popular dates fill quickly, particularly around end-of-term weeks at larger universities. Booking two to three weeks in advance gives you the best choice of collection dates and avoids the situation where your preferred date is already taken. If you are in a rush, contact us directly via WhatsApp or phone and we will do everything we can to accommodate a short notice collection.
Are my belongings insured while they are in storage?
Your belongings are held in our own CCTV monitored, alarmed and secure facility in Grays, Essex. We recommend that you check your own contents insurance policy, as many policies cover belongings in storage as standard or for a small additional premium. Some student bank accounts and university accommodation packages also include contents cover that extends to off-site storage. If you need specific storage insurance and your existing policy does not cover it, your move coordinator can advise on options when you book. Please do not assume coverage without checking your policy documents, as the terms vary between providers.
Can you collect directly from my halls of residence?
Yes. Collecting from halls of residence is one of the most common collection types we handle. We are familiar with the access arrangements, loading bay rules and porter lodge procedures at halls across all the universities we serve. When you book, you will be asked for your full collection address including your room number and any access notes. If your halls require vehicles to book a loading bay slot or have specific collection windows during end-of-term periods, let your move coordinator know in advance and we will arrange everything around those requirements.
Can I access my belongings while they are in storage
Yes, with a minimum of 48 hours notice. Access is available Monday to Saturday during site hours. Message your move coordinator to arrange an access appointment. If you have booked our collection and delivery storage service, your belongings are held in our managed warehouse area. If you think you may need regular or frequent access during the summer, our drive-up self storage units at the same Grays facility may be a better option. Ask your move coordinator to explain the difference when you book.
How long can I store my belongings for?
Our summer packages cover three months from May to September as standard. After the initial three months, your storage continues automatically at the same lower package rate rather than switching to the standard pay as you go rate, so you are not penalised for storing a little longer. There is no fixed end date and no requirement to collect at a specific time. You simply contact your move coordinator when you are ready for delivery and we arrange it from there. Year-round storage at monthly rates is also available for students who need to store between academic years or for longer periods.
Can I cancel my booking?
Before collection takes place you can cancel and receive a full refund minus a £25 administration fee. After collection has taken place the package is non-refundable. After the initial 16-week package period, you can cancel ongoing storage with 7 days written notice at any time.
