University of Colorado, Boulder – College Student Storage
Colorado Student Storage for CU Boulder Students
Colorado Student Storage provides convenient moving, shipping, and college student storage services for University of Colorado Boulder students living on campus or off campus. Whether you’re heading home for summer, moving between apartments, studying abroad, or returning to Boulder for another semester, CSS can handle your belongings from pickup through delivery.
Our campus storage services are designed around the CU Boulder academic calendar, making it easier for students and parents to coordinate summer moves without renting a truck or storage unit.
Summer Services
We offer ALL of our services year-round, but the following are our most popular summer services. From summer storage CU Boulder students can rely on to moving, shipping, and semester storage, CSS provides flexible options for students throughout their college experience.
Short-Term Moving & Storage Services
Perfect for students between leases who need storage for days, weeks, or months. Includes a complimentary box kit (up to 12 boxes in three sizes) plus tape, labels, tie-tags & a marker—delivered to you before move-out. Learn More
Basic Moving Services
Fast, affordable moves for dorms, apartments, and off-campus housing. We supply a box kit & packing materials in advance so you can pack with ease. Learn More
Ship to School
Get everything waiting for you on campus—no heavy lifting required. Choose the option that fits your needs:
- Parent Ship-to-School - Parents order online and ship items (beds, furniture, bedding, etc.) to our office. We warehouse them and deliver to your campus address when you return.
- Student Ship-from-Home - We send you boxes & prepaid labels. You pack & drop off at UPS; we receive, store, then deliver your items to campus when you arrive.
Semester Storage
Going abroad or taking a semester or year off from school? We provide flexible college student storage for as long as you need it. We’ll deliver boxes and tape ahead of time and can store almost anything, including vehicles.
College Summer Storage Made Easy for CU Students
CSS makes college summer storage simple by combining pickup, secure storage, and return delivery in one service. Instead of moving your belongings to a self-storage facility yourself, our team picks everything up from your CU Boulder dorm, residence hall, Greek house, apartment, or other off-campus residence.
When you return to Boulder, schedule your delivery, and we’ll bring your belongings to your new on- or off-campus address. It’s Colorado student storage built specifically around the needs of college students.
