College and University Storage

Moving in and out of university accommodation can be stressful, especially when you are trying to work out what to do with all your belongings between terms. Whether you are heading home for summer, going on a placement year, studying abroad, or moving between halls and private housing, Send My Bag offers a simple and affordable alternative to traditional student storage.

Instead of paying for storage units, hiring vans or asking family to help move heavy boxes, you can send your belongings where they need to be and travel light.

Our student moving service makes college and university storage easier, more flexible and far less stressful.

Why Choose Send My Bag Instead of Student Storage?

Traditional storage can be expensive, inconvenient and difficult to organise. You often need to transport everything yourself, pay monthly fees and arrange collection again when term starts.

With Send My Bag, you can:

• Send luggage, boxes and personal belongings door to door

• Avoid paying for long term storage units

• Travel without carrying heavy bags

• Move easily between university, home and accommodation

• Ship internationally for study abroad programmes

• Keep your belongings with you instead of storing them elsewhere

• Rather than leaving your items in storage, you can simply send them home or straight to your next address.

How Our Student Moving Service Works

We keep the process simple from start to finish.

Step 1: Pack Your Items

Pack your belongings securely into suitcases, boxes or holdalls. Clothes, books, bedding, kitchen items and study materials can all be prepared for safe transit.

Make sure everything is protected and packed securely before collection.

Step 2: Get an Instant Quote

Enter your collection and delivery addresses along with the size and weight of your items to receive a quick and accurate quote.

Step 3: Book Your Collection

Choose a collection date that works around your move out or move in dates and confirm your booking online in just a few minutes.

Step 4: Prepare for Collection

Have your items ready at the main access point of your building.

In halls of residence, leave items with reception if allowed

In shared or private housing, make sure someone is available

At home, arrange for a family member to hand items over if needed

Step 5: Track Your Delivery

Use the Send My Bag App to follow your shipment in real time and stay updated throughout the journey.

Step 6: Delivery to Your Destination

Your belongings are delivered safely to your chosen address, ready for your arrival.

Perfect for Summer Breaks

At the end of term, many students face the same problem. Accommodation contracts end, but returning for the next academic year means everything needs to come back again.

Instead of paying for summer storage, you can send your belongings home and have them delivered back when you return.

It is a simpler and often more affordable way to manage long university breaks.

Ideal for Placement Years and Internships

If you are moving to a new city for a placement year or internship, transporting all your essentials can be difficult without a car.

Sending your belongings directly to your new accommodation helps you settle in faster and avoids the stress of carrying multiple bags on trains or paying for expensive travel upgrades.

It is a practical option for temporary moves and short term relocations.

Great for International Students

International students often face even bigger challenges when moving between countries and term dates.

Storage units may not be practical when you are flying home for holidays or spending a semester abroad. With Send My Bag, you can send your belongings internationally and avoid strict airline baggage limits and excess baggage fees at the same time.

It gives you a more flexible way to manage university life across borders.

Save Money Compared to Traditional Storage

Monthly storage fees, transport costs and van hire can quickly make student storage expensive.

Using Send My Bag can help you avoid:

• Storage rental charges

• Van hire and fuel costs

• Extra airline baggage fees

• Multiple journeys between accommodation and home

• Unexpected moving day expenses

• It is a more predictable and cost effective way to manage student moves.

Travel Light and Move with Less Stress

One of the biggest benefits of choosing Send My Bag is the freedom to travel without heavy luggage.

No dragging boxes across campus, no struggling with oversized suitcases on trains, and no trying to fit everything into a small car.

You can focus on moving, settling in and enjoying university life while your belongings are delivered safely where they need to be.

Safe, Secure and Fully Tracked

We understand how important your belongings are, especially when moving between home and university.

Every shipment includes:

• Door to door delivery

• Real time tracking through the Send My Bag App

• A trusted global courier network

• Helpful customer support when you need it

• Guidance for international shipping and customs where needed

• From collection to delivery, your items are handled with care every step of the way.

A Flexible Alternative That Works Around You

University life rarely stays the same for long. Accommodation changes, placement years happen, study abroad opportunities come up and plans shift quickly.

Instead of locking your belongings into long storage contracts, Send My Bag gives you the flexibility to move when you need to.

It works around your schedule, not the other way around.
