We supply our signature Value Boxes to clients FREE of charge on specified dates to students who use our storage service.
We can store many other items and the prices for those items are listed below. Our pricing structure is simple and most items fall into one of four pricing categories (see below).
It is very important to note that our minimum monthly order is 4 months or 1 semester! You can store for a shorter period of time but we do not prorate.
The total cost to store our Value Box for the whole summer is only $36! ($9.00/month)
Now you can GO GREEN with our reusable bins!
While students traditionally use our Signature TCB Value Boxes to store their items, we are now offering students the option to store all or some of their items using our commercial grade and heavy-duty plastic storage bins *
Pros of using our GO GREEN Reusable Bins:
-
Heavy-duty and sturdy for better protection of fragile items
-
Bins are reusable, while cardboard boxes are typically discarded after a single use. Using these bins can result in an overall reduction in our carbon footprint over time
-
Storage charge of $37 per bin per semester
-
Plus a $5 rental charge per bin per semester
-
(includes free delivery on specified dates and free pickup after use)
* While supplies last - we encourage students who plan to use our GO GREEN Reusable Bins to sign up as early to ensure that they are able to reserve bins before we run out of our limited supply.

DO YOU NEED US TO SHIP ANYTHING HOME?
(FIND OUT MORE)
Need a box or luggage shipped home? We have you covered. The College Butler partners with UPS to provide shipping services to customers who want some or all of their items shipped back home or to another location. Shipping prices are determined by UPS depending on the item size, weight and shipping location.
SHIPPING PRICING
(items shipped within 1 week of pickup will not incur storage charges)
For Students who Store with Us
$15/item*
*Plus UPS Shipping Charges
For Students who are ONLY Shipping
$25/item*
*Plus UPS Shipping Charges
*Plus $3 per box supplied by us
*Students who use our pickup or pack & store service and only need items shipped will be assessed the $25 per item handling fee (plus $3 per box provided). Those who are storing items with us in addition to needing shipping will only be charged the $15 per item handling fee.
*To qualify for the $15/item rate, at least 50% of the student's final bill must be derived from storage charges (for example, if a student has 10 items and the student decides to ship 9 of the items and only store 1, the student would not qualify for the $15/item rate).
Note that we typically do not provide additional services for shipping special items such as bicycles that are not already disassembled, or fragile antiques/expensive artwork that require special packaging or crating. Additional charges would apply for these types of items at a rate determined by a College Butler manager. Contact us for pricing on special items.
NEED TO EXTEND YOUR STORAGE BEYOND THE SUMMER?
*Typically, students who need to extend their storage beyond the summer are:
- Students who are studying abroad in the fall
- Students who are taking a leave of absence from the college or university
- Students who have graduated and have not secured living arrangements
STUDY ABROAD or EXTENDED STORAGE PRICING
(standard rates apply)
For Study Abroad or Extended Storage, students will be charged based on the number of months that extended storage is needed. To determine the final cost of extended storage, find the applicable monthly rate for each item stored and multiply that rate by the number of months of extended storage. A discount will be applied to the monthly storage rate depending on the amount of time that storage will be extended:
One Additional Semester
10% DISCOUNT*
*Applies to additional semester monthly storage charges for the 1st additional semester stored.
Two Additional Semesters
15% DISCOUNT*
*Applies to additional semester monthly storage charges for the 2nd additional semester stored.
Three or More Additional Semesters
20% DISCOUNT*
*Applies to additional semester monthly storage charges for the 3rd additional semester stored.
For summer storage purposes a "semester" is defined as a period of 3-4 months, generally beginning in early May and extending to mid-late August. Storage picked up or delivered significantly earlier than May or significantly later than the end of August will be charged at the monthly rate for any additional months stored.
WE OFFER PACKING SERVICES FOR SELECT SCHOOLS
