    Summer Storage

    A UCLA student’s usual storage company pulled out of campus, so they asked who else to try.

    I used storage scholars this year, it was great...

    Storage Scholars

    An incoming NYU freshman from Illinois asked for opinions before booking, then came back after move-in to say how it went.

    Yes! It all came! It came way earlier than I thought it would! I was #23 on the delivery list and moved in at 9 AM but it was ready to be moved up before I even got there. A few of my items were broken but nothing too big!

    I need summer storage

    A Northern Arizona student weighed Storage Scholars against a cheaper option.

    I’ve heard good things about storage scholars, they give you boxes and everything (which I think is why they’re pricier)

    S14E04 Episode Discussion - Storage Scholars

    The thread for the episode where Mark Cuban invested. People here are reacting to the idea, not to a move of their own.

    I've got a son in college in MN, we are from Texas, and this is GENIUS idea to me! If they offered this service at his college we would totally use it. His college let's him store a few boxes on campus during the Summer, he takes a car full to his girlfriend's parents (local in MN) and drives 18 hours home with a car load of crap.

    I was really impressed with this business and how much these guys have raised and being able to graduate college debt free

I can't say enough good things about Storage Scholars! We have a freshman at UVM and trying to navigate the move out of the dorm room long distance could have been extremely stressful -- but not with the exceptional customer service this company offers. First, the amount of flexibility Storage Scholars offers is incredible. I couldn't get my kiddo to give me a firm number of things we needed to store...I called customer service and was told that if we needed to add additional items, we just needed to let them know prior to pick up. What?? How easy is that?? Each time I called I was stressed out -- and each time, the incredible folks answering the phone were compassionate, patient and understanding. I have to say there were two standouts in this regard: Olivia and Devine were so personable - I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my interaction with each of them...they truly talked me off the ledge when I couldn't get my child to engage! THANK YOU to Olivia, Devine, and Storage Scholars. We will use your services for years to come!

2025: We used Storage Scholars again this year for move out in the spring and move in for fall. Everything went perfectly, as it did last year. Delivery guys were super nice, professional and strong! Communication was clear and all items arrived in great condition. So glad we found this company. 2024: We used Storage Scholars for move out last semester and move in this semester. I am thoroughly impressed with their operation. Communication was excellent and any questions I had along the way were answered in a very timely manner , both by email and by text (thank you Nick!) . All items were delivered on time and in perfect condition by a professional and friendly team. I would not hesitate to use Storage Scholars again. It is worth every penny.

Had a wonderful experience with Storage Scholars! From pick up to storing to delivery! Nothing was broken and everything was delivered inside of her dorm a few days before we arrived back to Georgetown for our daughters move in date for the fall semester. When we got there on move in morning, we could go straight to work on fixing up her room instead of sitting around for them to deliver her belongings. That was very convenient to say the least! I was sent e-mails throughout the summer on the status of our order and just had to pick out a delivery date and time for delivery at the send of summer, and they delivered early which was fine by me!. All correspondence was professional and easy to navigate. I would highly recommend them!

This year was my first college summer I didn't spend on-campus so I was naturally very stressed about how I would handle storage. Storage Scholars allievated all of that stress with their efficient pickup system, afforadable pricing options, and excellent customer service. The customer service agent, Divine, in particular, provided me with amazing short-notice guidance and assistance that gave me the chance to start the semester equipped and stress free. Based on these experiences, I would seriously recommend this service to other students looking for a near hands-free approach to storage options.

Storage Scholars provided absolutely stellar customer service from start to finish. Every interaction was smooth, professional, and genuinely caring. I especially want to highlight Divine, who went above and beyond at every step. The entire process of moving in and out of my dorm felt very personal. I especially appreciate the attention to various points of contact (call, email, text) to ensure I received essential messaging. At the end of the day, you can really tell that customer satisfaction is their number one priority!

LOVE THIS COMPANY! Neddie was very helpful, patient and kind. We moved our son from NY to FL. The process was easy!! This whole "child going off to college" is stressful enough. The price we felt was great considering we did not have to do any heavy lifting, we did not have to drive it all and schlep it from a parking lot buildings away to his dorm. We just used the boxes they supplied, shipped and it was in his room when we arrived. No multiple trips to/from the truck in the unbearable Florida summer heat.

Questions people ask on Reddit

Is Storage Scholars legit?
Storage Scholars L.L.C. is a North Carolina company incorporated in 2017. It is BBB Accredited with an A rating, and registered with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT 4067000, MC 1544271) as a licensed broker of moving and storage services. Mark Cuban has backed the company since its 2022 Shark Tank appearance. It is an official moving partner at universities including Georgetown, James Madison, Villanova, Florida Atlantic and Ball State.
Is Storage Scholars worth the price?
Pricing is per item, by size tier: roughly $14 to $40 per item per month, on a four-month minimum billing term. The company’s 2026 average was $235 per month. You price your list in the online calculator before you book. Each item is measured at pickup to confirm its size tier, so the final bill matches what was picked up. The itemized breakdown stays visible in the portal through delivery.
Do you have to pick their delivery dates?
Pickup and delivery are free on the dates set for each campus, timed to finals week and move-in week. You can book a date outside those windows. It is priced separately, because it sends a dedicated truck and crew on their own trip.
What happens if something is damaged or missing?
Every item is measured, photographed and logged into a digital inventory at pickup, then held in secure, climate-protected storage. Standard carrier liability is included on every order. $1,000 Basic and $2,500 Premium coverage levels are available at booking, and families may use outside insurance instead. Claims are filed against the photographed pickup inventory, through the portal or the support team.
Can you reach anyone on move day?
Support runs by phone, text and email, including weekends during move windows. The portal shows the live delivery queue. Reviews on this page name the support staff who handled rescheduling, billing and address changes.
Who actually moves your stuff?
Storage Scholars’ own student teams manage every order and are trained on its handling protocols, and the company also works with vetted professional moving partners for drivers, trucks, and heavy lifting. At Key Access partner campuses the team sets the room up before the student arrives.
