*PLEASE INCLUDE STUDENT'S FIRST AND LAST NAME IN THE ADDRESS. Please hold items from arriving until 10 days after the end of the previous semester's classes. Items must be received 7 days before the start of the upcoming semester's classes. If you have belongings already in storage, we'll group everything together at delivery! Otherwise, we'll start a new order for you.
When we receive an item to our Bloomington storage facility, we'll add it to an invoice on your account. Once we've received everything you've sent, you can log into your account and make one single payment.
Step 2: Reserve an August delivery window on website, by email, or by phone
August arrival windows are typically released around July 1. If you have an account, you'll automatically receive an email notification when it's time to reserve an arrival window! If you have not yet been assigned a room number, but have received your move-in time, write "Unassigned" in the room number textbox.
This year, sign up for the early delivery window on August 14! We're working with Indiana University to deliver everything directly to dorm rooms between August 11-14, before you move in. No need to be present — you'll be notified as soon as your items have been delivered!
