Storage Services

Storage Services Offered

R&DE Student Housing is pleased to announce that we have arranged with professional storage vendor Collegeboxes.com (for storage of boxes and individual items, “at your door” moving services, and portable storage units)  as our preferred vendor to provide year-round storage of students' items, as well as summer-only storage. 

Collegeboxes.com, owned by U-Haul International, Inc., will store student's belongings, including odd-sized items as well as boxed items, in their nearby, secure, climate-controlled facility, and will transport them to and from campus as part of the service fee. Collegeboxes also offers "At Your Door" pickup and delivery, boxes and packing supplies, and shipping to and from school.  

Collegeboxes is also our preferred vendor for larger, portable storage units this year.  Details are available on their dedicated Stanford U-Box website.

Early reservations for all storage services are highly recommended.

Please note: The University assumes no responsibility for loss of, or damage to, items in storage. Additionally, contracts with our preferred vendors are entered into by the student and the company. The University is not a party to these contracts.

Students who opt to use a non-preferred storage container vendor will have restricted options on where the containers may be located, and might find that they are not able to have units placed in the locations most convenient to their residence, which have been reserved for use by the preferred vendor.  For a map of non-preferred vendor drop locations, click here. Non-preferred vendors may only drop containers in the specified non-preferred drop locations, and have a 72-hour stay limit at these locations.
