General Questions

Who is Kansas College Storage

We are a locally owned company servicing the Northeast Kansas college community.  We have experienced the cross country move to college and back (more than once), as well as the move to college a few hours away (again, more than once).  We knew that there had to be a better way, and we are excited to help parents and students make this journey a lot easier!  

What service(s) does Kansas College Storage provide?

Kansas College Storage provides boxes, tape and bubble wrap.  We pick up your belongings (curbside or in-room), take them to our clean, secure, climate controlled facility to store for break, and then when you are ready to move back in we deliver everything back to you.  

How does our service(s) work?

Step One:  Make your reservation online.  If your moving dates change make sure to adjust your reservation.

Step Two:  We deliver packing materials about a week before your move out date.

Step Three:  On your move-out day, we ask that you be outside at the curb of your residence 10 minutes prior to your pick up time with your properly packed belongings (See Instructions for Properly Packing HERE).  You can also opt for our in-room pick up service for $25.  We inventory your items, load them and send you an electronic receipt.  We accept cash, credit cards and PayPal.

Step Four:  You enjoy your break knowing your things are safe.  Your parents enjoy that your stuff isn’t sitting in the foyer!

Step Five:  On your move-in date and time, we deliver everything back to you, review your item list and you’re ready to unpack and start the semester. 


Packing & Supply Questions

Do my items need to be boxed or packaged for storage?

We require that all items are properly pack (See Packing Instructions HERE) with the exception of irregular items (i.e. an ironing board).  Items that cannot be boxed (such as furniture, do not need to packed).  Properly boxed items are less prone to damage during moving.  If you have any questions, please contact us.  

Please note that items not properly boxed will incur additional fees.


Are packing materials provided?

We provide all packing materials (boxes, bubble wrap, tape and printable labels) based on your reservation and yes, the cost is included* in the storage fees.

Can I get more packing materials if needed?

May I use my own packing materials?

Storage Questions

Pickup and Delivery Questions

Is there a pickup and delivery fee?

We have a schedule of free curbside pick-up and delivery days for the summer semester.  If you need days outside of the designated free days there is a fee.  The free dates typically cover the student moving calendar set by the schools.

Do I need to be there when you pickup and drop off my belongings?

No.  You can have someone else be there when we pick up or deliver your belonging.  You will need to contact us ahead of time and let us know that person’s name and contact information prior to delivery.  If you need to change your pick up/delivery time you may reschedule your appointment without charge 24 hours before the allocated time.  There is a fee for any changes made within 24 hours of your pickup/delivery.

Do you service off-campus living?

Yes. We offer the same service for off-campus living.  

What if I don't know where I will be living next semester?

When you have your new living arrangements made, make your move-in (delivery) reservation.

What happens if I change schools or do not come back?

We can ship your belongings to you.  We will get an estimate of what it will cost to ship your items plus our labor and any material cost.  Once your items are shipped you will receive a tracking number.

Pricing & Payment Questions

How much does storage cost?

Kansas College Storage is a pay by the item not a pay by the storage space.  There are no monthly charges, no administrative fees, and no contracts.  You pay by the semester (spring, summer or fall).  Our prices are listed on our rates page.  

Will you store items that are not listed on the rate sheet?

Yes.  If you have something that isn’t listed contact us for a quote.  

How and when do I pay for service?

Payment is due at pick-up.  We accept cash, credit cards and PayPal.  You will be billed if additional fees are incurred due to overweight or over-sized items. 

Is there a fee if I need to cancel my reservation?

There is no fee if you cancel 7 days prior to your moving date.  If you cancel after you have received your packing materials you will be charged a $30 fee plus the retail price for all packing materials delivered.  Contact us for more details.
