Moveout & summer storage--any Wise Words of Wisdom?

<p>How did you best manage summer storage and moveout for your freshman? We are too far to drive, pickup & redeliver in fall. Were boxes safe in House basement storage? How much space is allowed for boxes?? Any other considerations? We've read Collegeboxes company has been very unreliable so we hesitate to try that option.</p>

<p>My D stored several boxes last summer. Because of renovations to the house she was going to be living in, Collegeboxes was involved in the process and students were allowed to store a certain number of boxes with them for free, and my D was also able to use one of her suitemate's allotments, because the suitemate was not planning to store anything on campus. I didn't hear about any problems with Collegeboxes last year, although the year before they certainly lost or misplaced a lot of boxes. Perhaps they learned something. My D will be storing things again this summer, but I haven't checked to see how the house is handling storage this year.</p>
