Ship2Storage makes it easy and affordable to store just a few boxes between semesters, internships, or research moves.
Graduate life moves fast. Between internships, fieldwork, conferences, and short-term housing, most grad students don’t stay in one place for long. But what happens to all your stuff when you’re between apartments, labs, or leases?
That’s where Ship2Storage comes in with a flexible, affordable solution for storing just a few boxes without the headache (or cost) of renting a storage unit or hiring movers.
1. Made for How Grad Students Actually Live
Grad students are constantly on the move, often juggling multiple cities or even countries in a single year. Maybe you’re finishing a semester in Boston, spending the summer interning in San Francisco, or starting your dissertation research overseas.
Traditional storage companies expect you to rent a full unit or coordinate movers, which doesn’t make sense if you only have a few boxes of books, personal items, and academic materials.
Ship2Storage is designed for mobility. You simply:
Pack your boxes at home or campus housing.
Print prepaid FedEx or UPS labels from your Ship2Storage account.
Ship your boxes directly to our climate-controlled, secure warehouse.
When you’re ready, we ship them back to any U.S. address — your new apartment, university housing, or office.
No trucks, no contracts, no local pickup appointments. Just flexible, pay-per-box storage that moves with you.
2. Perfect for Summer Internships and Research Moves
If you’re leaving campus for a few months, Ship2Storage is the perfect bridge between semesters.
Instead of renting a whole storage unit for $150–$300 a month, you can store a few boxes for under $100 total for the summer, including shipping. It’s ideal for:
Summer internships in another city
Short-term fieldwork or research
Study abroad or exchange programs
Relocation between university housing and off-campus apartments
With Ship2Storage, you only pay for what you use — and when you come back, your boxes are waiting wherever you are.
3. Affordable and Transparent Pricing
Graduate students know how to stretch a budget. Ship2Storage was built with that same logic:
Pay only per box, not per storage unit.
No pickup or delivery fees.
No hidden costs or long-term commitments.
By partnering with national carriers like FedEx and UPS, Ship2Storage leverages discounted shipping rates and centralized storage to offer up to 60% savings compared to campus or local movers.
It’s one of the few logistics services that makes academic life cheaper — not more complicated.
4. Safe, Organized, and On-Demand
Every box is barcoded, tracked, and climate-protected in our central U.S. facility. You can log in to your Ship2Storage account anytime to see what you’ve stored and request a shipment back to any address in the country.
Whether it’s research books, lab notes, or personal belongings, your boxes stay organized, secure, and ready for your next chapter.
5. Why Grad Students Love Ship2Storage
“I left for a summer fellowship in D.C. and didn’t want to rent a storage unit. Ship2Storage let me ship 3 boxes for under $100 and have them waiting at my new apartment in August. Total game-changer.”
— Rachel M., University of Michigan Graduate Student
Graduate school demands flexibility — and so should your storage. With Ship2Storage, you can focus on your research, work, or travel while we handle the logistics.
The Bottom Line
If you’re between leases, on a short internship, or just don’t have time to deal with movers, Ship2Storage is the simple, smart solution.
No trucks. No contracts. No wasted money.
Just affordable, flexible storage for the way graduate students actually live — one box (or thesis) at a time.
