t the end of each term/semester, students face the worrying prospect of not knowing what on earth to do with all the stuff they’ve kept in their lodgings, whether they’re in halls of residence or sharing a flat that has to be fully vacated three times a year. Does this sound like you? Then not only will you be wondering what to do with everything you brought along to university, you’re also bound to have acquired extra bits and pieces as the weeks have gone on especially if you’re in one of those great university towns with fantastic markets and boutiques. And if you’re an overseas student, the idea of lugging all your things across an ocean or two every time term ends is decidedly unappealing to put it mildly.
The fact is, you need a solution fast and the most obvious and affordable one is storage. At Johnson’s of Shaftesbury, we make it easy. Our storage and self-storage facilities are not just useful for people who are moving house – they’re a great option for students, too. Our large and ultra-safe warehouse is in Gillingham and we use wooden containers which permit 250 cubic feet of space. If that’s more space than you need, why not share a unit with friends? We can pitch up at your place in one of our trucks which are designed precisely for the loading of storage containers. Your possessions will be looked after as if they were our own and once we’ve loaded your items on board, we’ll create a scrupulously complete inventory of all the items. When it’s time for you to head back to uni, we’ll turn up at the agreed time and bring your container back to you, ticking off all the items so that you know everything’s there and in the state in which you left it.
Books, clothes, bedding, bicycles and miscellaneous items – we can take them all off your hands so that you can return home at the end of term without being weighted down by possessions. Just think how good it will feel to be free of unnecessary clutter and able simply to hop on a train with only the specific things you want for the holidays. What freedom!
