Frequently Asked Questions

Why offer an "All in One Storage Kit"?

This is something that we designed to be disruptive to the college storage industry. Here's why we changed it:

NO HIDDEN FEES: Most companies charge a supply fee, admin fee, sign-up charge or some similar fee that comes as a surprise to people. We didn't like that, so we got rid of it.

IMPROPER PACKING: Charging by the box encourages people to not store all they needed or cram items into too few boxes. This meant the possibility of compromising their safety ... so we fixed it and made space irrelevant.

OVERWEIGHT BOXES: Many students were packing boxes that were way overweight and that meant our employees health was at risk. This also meant the boxes were impossible for students to move.

What is an "All in One Storage Kit"?

Includes: 4 XL Boxes / 4 Lg Boxes / Tape / Packing Paper / Labels / Label Pouches

Is the "All in One Storage Kit" Free"?

Yes. The "All in One Storage Kit" is supplied free when you sign up.

What services does A-Plus offer?

A-Plus specializes in providing college summer storage, college shipping and college bedding and linen services. We also offer full wardrobe cleaning, leather/suede & UGG cleaning. (Please email us to discuss).

Can I store my electronics?

Yes. They must be properly and securely packaged. We suggest using the original storage packing if available. This will ensure the safety of the contents. If they are not available try towels, newspaper, bubble wrap, blankets or clothes. The better they are wrapped, the less chance that they will be damaged in transit.

Are there things that I can't store?

Yes. Cash, jewelry, hazardous materials, food, liquids and other valuables. Toiletries including shampoo and liquid soaps must be sealed in zip-lock bags. Use common sense when packing.

How should I prepare my non-boxed items?

All non-boxed items should be secure and compact. Drawers, flaps, cords and other loose items need to be closed, folded, tucked away or such. Plastic drawers must be empty. The use of tape, rope and twine is recommended.

What if my box is overweight?

Any box that weighs over 50lbs will be charged an additional half a box.

Can I use my own boxes?

We provide a mix of sizes in our "All in Storage Kit" which covers 95% of students needs. We do know that people have their own boxes. Unfortunately, due to problems in the past, we cannot allow you to use your own boxes other than original packaging boxes.

How does the shipping service work?

We will ship any box as long as it properly packed and sealed. Let's not make it more difficult than returning a package to an online store. There are two things that you need to do after your items are packed. 1. On the the outside of the box write SHIP in multiple places. 2. Email us the shipping address and how many boxes you are shipping. Be sure to mark your box(es) appropriately. You can never over mark a box. Our staff will prepare your boxes for shipment via UPS. Carrier fee plus a $20 handling fee per box will apply and be added to the final bill. All boxes will be shipped within a week of pick up. Please be patient as we will be handling an enormous amount of boxes.

How does the Bedding & Linen service work?

Every "All in One Storage Kit" will include two clear, contractor grade plastic bags. Pack this bag with your dirty comforter, blanket, sheets and towels. Be sure to include a packing label. All cleaning is handled in house as we have our own dry cleaning and laundry facility. Any additional bags to be cleaned will be charged $35. Your fresh, clean bedding and linens will be returned to you at delivery. Unfortunately, this service cannot be exchanged for a box. We also offer full wardrobe cleaning, leather/suede & UGG cleaning. Please contact a storage counselor for more details.

What forms of payment do you accept?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express & Venmo.
