Our storage services require a pick up and delivery of your Items.

A. Scheduled Pick Ups and Deliveries
When you place your order for storage, you schedule your preferred pick-up and delivery date and location.

Pick ups and deliveries that are scheduled during a Ship My Room standard move period for a standard Ship My Room campus location are included within the cost of the Ship My Room storage service. Students that select their date after the standard moving period may be assessed a peak pickup/delivery fee as listed at https://shipmyroom.com. Schedule your pickups and deliveries as far in advance as possible to help avoid these fees.

We can schedule an “on-demand” pick-up or delivery of your Items, outside of the Ship My Room standard move period within your campus location and/or outside of the standard Ship My Room campus location. However, these on-demand pick-ups and deliveries may result in fees ranging from $30 to $300 depending on date and location and are subject to Ship My Room’s approval based on the availability of moving teams.

You are required to be present at the specified pick-up and delivery location during the scheduled time and date. If you will not be present at pick-up or delivery, the Alternate Contact must be present.

If neither you nor your Alternate Contact is available at the scheduled pickup to provide your Items to Ship My Room, you may be charged an additional fee for rescheduling your pickup. At your or your Alternate Contact’s request, if there is no one present at delivery, Ship My Room may leave your Items outside the scheduled delivery location and Ship My Room’s responsibility and liability for your Items terminates at that time. In such case, the Ship My Room representative will sign the delivery form, indicating the physical state of the Items as of delivery, which will be the authoritative statement as to the condition of your Items. You agree and acknowledge that Ship My Room will not be held liable for damage or loss of belongings following delivery by Ship My Room.

You may reschedule a pickup or delivery date. If you reschedule a pickup or delivery date or location with at least seven (7) days advance notice of the scheduled pickup or delivery date, there is no additional charge for the rescheduling; reschedules with less than seven (7) days notice may be charged an additional rescheduling fee as listed at https://shipmyroom.com. If you reschedule or cancel a pickup or delivery date or location with less than 2 business day’s notice, Ship My Room will attempt to accommodate your request but may not be able to do so.

Delivery included in “all inclusive” pricing must be within a 10 mile radius of the campus at which the Items were picked up. Delivery outside of said 10 mile radius from campus may be subject to an additional fee as indicated by the pricing schedule.

Maximum storage period included in storage service pricing for each Item is four (4) months.

C. Abandonment
In the event that you do not schedule a delivery date for your Items and Ship My Room is unable to charge your card for the additional storage period, and no other arrangements are made with Ship My Room for delivery, pickup or shipping of your Items, the items will be considered abandoned.
