About Toterly

At Toterly, pronounced tote-er-lee we simplify move-in and move-out for Baltimore students with flat-rate storage plans, on-campus delivery, and hometown care you can count on.

Founded by two Baltimore parents who saw how stressful the move in and out process can be, Toterly was created to reduce the stress of getting your student situated with the items they will need for their school year and help them continue to transition year to year as they relocate.

Why Choose Toterly?

  • Affordable Pricing: Flat rate plans so you can budget your semester move up front.
  • Durable, Reusable Totes: Eco friendly heavy-duty totes protect your belongings and cut down on waste.
  • Move-in Assistance: Carts and dollies provided; assistance where available.
  • Real-Time Order Tracking: Email updates and online order tracking keep you informed at every step.

Smarter & More Affordable

Most nationwide services ship boxes across states, adding hidden costs for handling, packaging, and transportation. We don’t do that.

Our pricing starts at just $24 per month per tote, making us one of the most cost-effective storage options available — and still cheaper than signing up for a traditional self-storage unit in town.

Parents and students value timing control:

  • Choose the pickup and delivery times that fit your schedule.
  • Whether you’re leaving for study abroad, moving out for summer, or returning early, we make sure storage fits your timeline — not the other way around.

More Than Just Totes

Sure, we’re known for our sturdy, reusable totes — but we handle more than that.

Need to store your mini fridge, bike, floor mirror, or small desk? No problem. We pick up, store, and return all your items with the same care and convenience as your totes.

Seamless Flexibility

Not sure how many totes you’ll need? No stress.

You can add more totes anytime — just log in, update your order, and we’ll deliver another tote right to your door. Toterly is designed to grow with your needs throughout the semester or summer.

Real-Time Tracking & Updates

Whether you’re using Dorm Drop, Toterly Semester, or Toterly Summer, every pickup, delivery, and storage event is tracked in real time.

You’ll always know when your totes or packages are received, moved, or scheduled for delivery — all from your online account.


Toterly Semester & Toterly Summer

LocalReliableStudent-Friendly

Toterly Semester and Toterly Summer makes move-out and move-in effortless. We drop off sturdy totes to your dorm, you pack at your pace, and we pick up & store everything all summer—totes and approved items—then deliver it back right where you need it.

Toterly Semester and Toterly Summer is our school storage service designed for Maryland area colleges and universities. We supply totes, handle pickup and storage, and return your items for fall move-in or whenever you return.

How It Works

Toterly Summer process: tote drop-off, you pack, we store, fall return.

  1. Receive Totes: After you sign up, we schedule a tote drop at your residence hall or approved location. Our totes are durable and stackable—roughly comparable to airline checked-bag sizing (≈63" total, e.g., 28+20+15).
  2. Pack Them Up: Pack your belongings at your own pace (see policies below).
  3. We Pick Up & Store: On your chosen pickup window, we collect your totes and any approved items (e.g., mini-fridge, microwave, large items), then store them securely for the semester or summer.
  4. Return: Before classes begin, we coordinate your delivery window and bring your items back—ready for move-in.

What You Can Store

  • Toterly totes we provide
  • Or pack your own boxes (max total dimensions 61" — length + width + height)
    • Examples: bedding, clothing, books, dorm decor, school supplies
  • Large Items: desks, chairs, floor mirrors, bikes
  • Small appliances (e.g., mini-fridge, microwave) — confirm dimensions/weight if unsure
How do I schedule summer drop-off and pick-up?

Submit the Toterly Summer form on our site. We’ll email you scheduling options for tote drop-off before semester end and pickup/return when school starts.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing with a 4-month minimum for summer and semester storage. Semester and summer can be combined where students are departing mid year (e.g., December).
