Additional Storage Information...
We sell over 60 sizes of boxes, so stop in and pick out whatever you need to get your stuff packed up. We are mindful of sustainability and encourage you to reuse boxes you might already have, or store your stuff in plastic bins or suitcases.
You’re welcome to borrow a cart to make getting your stuff to us easier. We accept storage at our store any time during business hours, with no appointment needed.
When your storage term is up, give us a heads up a few days ahead of time so we can retrieve your items from our storage facility and have them ready for you to pick up at our store. If you’re not returning to Ithaca, we can always ship your storage items to you anywhere in the world.
More information…
- “Items” are defined as any single thing that is self-contained and easily carried by one individual, such as a box, suitcase, bin, bike, mini-fridge, or chair. Fragile things (TVs, vacuums, etc.) must be packed securely in containers before being stored.
- Please do not store liquids, food, perishables, or anything flammable, combustible, or caustic. For more information on what is prohibited in storage, as well as liability, please see our terms and conditions.
- Storage terms are prepaid or monthly using Square auto-pay. After 30 days of non-payment, stored items will be considered abandoned and consequently disposed of.
- Multiple boxes or things that are strapped together cannot be accepted as a single item. Please separate them and store them individually, or put them together inside a larger carton.
- There is a one-month minimum storage term (meaning we must charge for at least one month, even if you’re just storing for a week or two).
- Please defrost and clean out any mini-fridges in advance so they’re dry when entering storage; if so, the mini-fridge can be accepted and is generally considered a regular item if under 70 pounds.
- Please read the storage section of our terms and conditions thoroughly.
