Student moving back home

Are you a student moving back home? See how a mobile storage unit might be the best solution for storing your belongings.

Most of us, as students, have had to face the inevitable day of moving back home!

Whether you are in between undergrad and graduate school or have finished your studies to find the job prospects less than forthcoming, moving back home from university or college is a natural progression.

University of British Columbia Okanagan (UBCO) students can make the move as smooth a transition as possible by looking into mobile storage services such as a MI-BOX® portable storage unit provided by Space Centre Storage.

Time is on your side

If you're pressed for time, a mobile storage container is your perfect portable solution. Delivered to your door, whether off- or on-campus in Kelowna, storage containers allow you to pack and unload your belongings at your leisure or for as long as time permits.

For students who have family from out of town, you can start packing your items in your unit days before your parents arrive to pick you up. That way you can spend more time showing them around town one last time before you head home.

 

Take out or delivery

Once you've packed and locked your unit, you have a few options:

If you live in the Okanagan, you can have Space Centre Kelowna's storage container rental drivers deliver your unit to your home to be unpacked, or you can leave it in your driveway with the contents intact while you decide what your next move is.   

Or, you can have the unit stored in Space Centre Storage's heated and secure warehouse facility until you are ready to unload it. If you need any items from your unit in the meantime, no problem. You can access the warehouse with a PIN code, and then use your own key to open your container.

Once you know where you'll be living, you can have our drivers deliver your unit to wherever that may be, whether back at school or in your new residence.

 

It's all about the money

One of the best things about mobile storage containers in Kelowna is that they won't cost you a ton of money. Instead of packing and then paying for a moving truck and movers to bring your belongings home, you can instead store your items yourself and the delivery and pick up is included.
