Can extend my storage from 16 weeks to September due to the Coronavirus outbreak?

Yes you can extend your storage from 16 weeks to September, 26 weeks instead. The team will update the price and send you an invoice for approximately 26 weeks.

 

Standard Summer Storage Period (SSSP)

Uni Storage Box has specific storage terms on the storage period.  Uni Storage Box charges all customers for 26 weeks storage. This is known as “Standard Summer Storage Period” (SSSP). Uni Storage Box will calculate the cost of storage based on the company policies. If your actual storage period is shorter than the SSSP, you will still be charged for the full SSSP. We have no maximum storage period.  If the SSSP is longer than your actual storage period we cannot offer any refund for the extra duration of storage,  can we defer the delivery for an additional charge. By using our storage/shipping services you agree to our terms and conditions.

 

Payment

All payments relating to any storage and materials must be made to Uni Storage Box.  Payment can be made in cash or through a BACS transfer or credit/debit card to Uni Storage Box. Payments done after 7 days from the date when an invoice is sent will attract a late payment charge which will be £30.00 on top of the outstanding invoice. The late payment fee will only accrue once the customer has been served with a notice to that effect.

Are there other fees other than the storage costs?

Other costs may include:

Over packing – £20. Failed/missed collection – £15. Failed re-delivery – £15. Cancellation of order after the free standard boxes and packing tape have been delivered and before collection – £40. Overweight item: reclassified to the next category of pricing plus an additional £20. Late fee payment (non-payment of an invoice after 14 days of of issuing) – £30.

Where We Deliver

Delivery of items to the customer will be done to their designated address. This address should be within the town or city of their previous collection address and be within 6 miles of this previous collection address. Any customer who wishes the delivery be done to any other address outwith this 6 mile radius should communicate this via email or telephone with Uni Storage Box for an agreement on the distance for which Uni Storage Box will charge an agreed fee for delivery of the items. In cases where a customer organizes for delivery and we are unable to deliver the goods due to any reason within the customer’s control, Uni Storage Box will charge £15.00 for the failed delivery.

Early Delivery

During Freshers week at the beginning of the academic term, Uni Storage Box delivers items to the university or surrounding locations at no extra cost. If the deliveries are done outside this period, the delivery will be done at a fee. Not all customers may benefit from the free delivery. It is therefore important for the customer to contact Uni Storage Box through email or telephone if he/she requires a delivery out with the Freshers week and he/she may be charged for such deliveries. Customers will not be refunded for any unused storage period  that they may have already paid for.  Unless payment is cleared in full, the customers goods cannot be returned. This includes any administration/ delivery fee for organising a delivery earlier than Freshers week.

Late Deliveries

In cases where the customer is not able to receive their deliveries on the dates that are designated by Uni Storage Box for delivery and has not previously organised extended storage period longer than the SSSP, the customer will incur an extra charge which will be 3 times the amount they were previously paying  per week on the amount for their storage. This will also apply in cases where the customer fails, neglects or does not organize for the delivery of their materials by the last date of delivery designated by Uni Storage Box. The customer will also be charged an extra fee for the late delivery of the goods.

Individual Collection and Storage

Uni Storage Box does not offer self-storage. We offer industrial scale storage. This therefore means Uni Storage Box will have the sole responsibility of storing and delivering of the goods. A customer cannot on their own store and collect their goods. A delivery will need to be arranged with our team.

Non-Collection of Items

The items that are not booked for delivery before the end Freshers week in September will be considered a late delivery and will be treated as such.

 

Terms for Delivery and Collection

It is the responsibility of the customer to check immediately after delivery the contents which had been stored by Uni Storage Box to ascertain whether there has been any kind of damage. In the event where damage is ascertained, the Uni Storage Box delivery team should be notified and shown the damage before they depart the customer’s address. Uni Storage Box will not under any circumstances accept liability for any damage that is reported after the Uni Storage Box has left the address of the delivery.
