Toterly Summer Storage
Toterly Semester and Toterly Summer is our school storage service designed for Maryland 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
- 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). - Pack Them Up: Pack your belongings at your own pace (see policies below).
- 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.
- 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
-

We can wrap large items for $15 per item, or you can wrap them before pickup. Examples include desk/table legs wrapped together, floor mirror corners padded with bubble wrap, and items secured with plastic wrap to prevent damage.

- $24 per item per month (tote or approved item)
- Semester and summer storage plans include a 4-month minimum. If items are needed before the standard return delivery period begins, additional fees may apply for early retrieval.
- Pickup, storage, and return included in the price
Tote Size & Larger Items
If you pack your own box that’s larger than our standard tote, please share the dimensions (L×W×H). Items over typical checked-bag size (~61" total) may require approval and custom pricing. Most large items can still be stored at our standard monthly rate; we’ll review the details you provide to confirm final pricing. The Toterly tote shown below is packed with common household items. Use this example along with the tote’s actual measurements (26" L × 19" W × 14" H) to help estimate how many totes you’ll need.
Policies & Notes
- Scheduling: We’ll send confirmation emails for tote drop, pickup, and fall delivery windows.
- Missed Appointments: Missed pickup/delivery may incur a redelivery fee; we’ll reschedule as soon as possible.
- Oversize/Overweight: Items exceeding standard size/weight may require approval and custom pricing.
- Payments: You’ll receive a secure payment link before tote drop-off or initial pickup; invoices list all items being stored.
