Frequently Asked Questions About Student Moving & Storage
1. How far in advance should I schedule my student move in Boone?
For end-of-semester moves, we recommend booking at least 4-6 weeks in advance. May and August are extremely busy periods for student moves in Boone, and our schedule fills quickly. Last-minute requests may be accommodated through our expedited service, but availability isn't guaranteed during peak times.
2. Do you work with Appalachian State's move-out schedule?
Yes, we coordinate closely with Appalachian State's academic calendar and understand the tight deadlines for residence hall move-outs. Our team is experienced in working within these constraints and can help you navigate the challenges of end-of-semester moves.
3. Can I store just a few items instead of an entire apartment?
Absolutely. Our storage solutions are customizable based on your needs. Whether you need to store an entire apartment's worth of belongings or just a few larger items like furniture, we can create a storage plan that works for you.
4. How secure is your storage facility?
Your belongings are stored in our secure facility with comprehensive security measures including surveillance systems, controlled access, and regular monitoring. Each client's items are stored in individual storage vaults, ensuring your belongings remain separate and secure.
5. Can I access my belongings during the storage period?
Yes, you can access your stored items during business hours with advance notice. We recommend calling at least 48 hours ahead to ensure we can prepare your items for access.
6. What should I do with my items if there's a gap between housing leases?
Our storage solutions are perfect for bridging housing gaps. We can pick up your belongings from your current residence, store them securely for the duration of your gap period, and deliver them directly to your new residence when you're ready—even if that's just a week or two later.
7. Do you offer packing supplies?
Yes, we provide professional-grade packing supplies including boxes, tape, bubble wrap, and protective blankets. These can be included as part of our packing services or purchased separately if you prefer to do your own packing.
8. How do you handle textbooks and electronics in storage?
