Possible Summer Storage Options
Using Storage and Moving Companies
If you choose to use a moving company:
- Make sure that you are aware of their policies and practices.
- Check references and insurance.
- Be clear on what services they will provide and how.
- Dates of pick up and moving MUST be within the official move out dates.
Moving companies should provide all needed moving supplies including carts, dollies, etc.
Building Access for Moving and Storage Employees
Any and all contracted employees assisting with student moves should expect to abide by residential security policies; this is for the protection of all residents. Specifically:
- The student resident MUST accompany the service provider at all times when they are in the chapter house.
- Students MUST be available to meet any moving or storage company so that they can oversee the transfer of their belongings.
- Penn will NOT be responsible for belongings left or picked up by storage personnel, left unattended, or left behind in rooms or chapter houses by students.
Portable Storage and Container Companies, e.g. FlexBox, Door to Door, PODS, etc.
Space limitations make it necessary to limit drop areas for self-storage containers ordered for moving. Self-storage containers may not be delivered to campus parking lots, sidewalks, driveways, pedestrian areas, or any part of the campus proper. The following street locations will be made available for self-storage container delivery. Parking spaces will be posted to allow for self-storage containers to be left in these locations ONLY:
- East-side of 38th St., between Locust and Walnut Sts.
- West-side of 33rd St., between Walnut and Chestnut Sts.
- Both sides of 39th St., between Walnut and Sansom Sts.
***ALL OTHER LOCATIONS ARE RESTRICTED***
