<p>Can anyone recommend good storage companies around Duke ?- need tos tore my stuff during summer . Thanks</p>
<p>There’s a Public Storage nearby just off of Erwin Road near Chai’s and the post office. The service is OK, there’s no climate control in the storage, but the first month’s rent is $1. Duke used to have its own (little known) storage service on Central but they stopped doing it because it was too much trouble.</p>
<p>Check out [University</a> Shipping](<a href=“http://www.universityshipping.com%5DUniversity”>http://www.universityshipping.com)
A couple students run it, and is cheaper than college boxes or ups</p>
<p>I have used the University Shipping service every year since I’ve been at Duke.</p>
<p>The guys are great to work with, incredibly reliable, and I have nothing but great things to say. Their unit is climate controlled, and my belongings are always returned in great condition when I expect. And, it’s cheaper than UPS/CollegeBoxes, etc.</p>
<p>Also, if you live between DC and Boston, they will ship items home for you, which is a great service if you will need things over summer or are graduating.</p>
<p>I just signed up with them and their rates are certainly cheaper than collegeboxes or the new UPS storage deal.</p>
<p>my advice from personal experience is to not store anything if you can avoid it</p>
