Smart Students Opt for Summer Storage

Summer term at University has started. For some most of the exams are done and dusted with just a few lurkers to deal with. For others there’s last minute coursework to be managed. But one thing’s for certain, it’s time to think ahead to both the summer and to the next academic year.

Parents and friends across the country are preparing to receive endless bags – boxes if they’re lucky – full of kitchen ‘stuff’, electronics, bedding and quilts as students move away from University over the long summer holiday. And that’s to say nothing to the piles of out of season clothes.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

Parents, relatives and friends across the country – and beyond – will be glad to know that summer storage with easyStorage can prove a low-cost way to save your home and your sanity!

Here are just some of the ways that students are taking advantage of the services on offer:

  • Arrangements have been made with some universities for specific pick up dates by easyStorage ‘en masse’. Students share their pods and get them returned back on set dates. 
  • Students planning on their first house/flat share, away from halls, club together for storage over the summer period. As easyStorage both collects and delivers goods back by arrangement, this makes light work of packing things away and collecting, and means no van hire required! (Smart parents across the land will, we suspect, be using the summer to pass on things they no longer need – one person’s clutter becomes another’s ‘essentials’.)
  • Overseas/international students travelling long distances home over the summer don’t need to worry about where to leave their belongings. An easyStorage pod means that everything is put away and no-one will access their belongings until they do upon return. Your belongings are even returned to your new term time address. 
  • Overseas/international students coming to the UK to study arrange for their things to be shipped weary, guaranteeing their arrival in time for term, and allowing students to arrive early and travel around a little to get to know their new country and town.
  • In some areas, easyStorage is able to offer storage in boxes which you take to the warehouse yourself - perfect for storing small quantities over the summer.

Discounts and support are available across the UK and many for specific Universities. And the collect and deliver back service means a whole lot less hassle for storers.

Offers for students include large discounts (as much as half price) and some local arrangements with universities or colleges, so it’s well worth calling one of the easyStorage specialists to see what’s available to help students in your area. For example easyStorage Dorset have offers on price (and some advice on making the storage work well), while easyStorage Scotland traditionally goes flat out with ‘bus service collections’.  

It literally costs nothing to call, is no obligation, and could save a whole lot of stress – for students AND whoever they’re spending the summer with!

A lease or rent is, of course, an expenditure. So, a business manager should carefully look for the right place for expansion/extension and consider the amount of money to spend on lease or rent.
