No time to pack? We pack student rooms.

Student Room Packing

Chaffinch Student is one of the UK’s leading student storage providers. We work with selected university and student accommodation partners to provide a room packing service for students who have had to leave their accommodation.

We are here to help, and will work with your accommodation provider to get your belongings packed as soon as possible after your booking. Once packed, your stuff will then be moved into storage, where you can advise us further.

Whether you simply run out of time to pack your things before putting them into storage, or your flight details change; our professional packing service ensures that the things that matter never get left behind.

Simply select the “Room Packing” option when making your storage booking, and we will be in contact to sort out the rest.

Some Guidance on Student Room Packing

From £240 per room. 

Includes: Room Packing & Packing Supplies (boxes and tape)

Excludes: Storage costs (from £5 per standard box per month). Delivery costs vary depending on volume and location.

Please note:

  • Book Early… Due to the very high volume of students requiring this service, we offer no guarantee that your belongings will be packed and removed prior to your contract end date, however we work very closely with our accommodation partners to ensure all situations are resolved in the best and quickest way possible
  • No perishable food items will be packed. 
  • No items in shared kitchens or spaces will be packed if not clearly labelled in a cupboard belonging to you. We would advise moving items from shared kitchens into your bedroom before we conduct your student room pack, as items may get used or misplaced by other students in your absence.
  • We can accept no liability whatsoever for the removal, presence or condition of any items, as we have no way of verifying whether these items were present or the condition they were in when you left your accommodation, or monitoring whether anyone had access to your room during the lockdown period. Our operatives are all long term partners, DBS-security checked, and our team leaders are former UK police officers.
  • Flammable liquids or items such as nail varnish remover, cigarette lighters, matches will not be packed as these are strictly against our terms and conditions of storage. Any other liquid or substance which is deemed as flammable will not be packed as part of our room packing service.
  • The room packing service does not include removal of rubbish from your room. Only items which would reasonably be stored in our normal storage service shall be packed. Any rubbish will be dealt with by your accommodation provider.
  • Advise whether the bedding (duvet, pillows, sheets, pillowcases etc) belong to you (ie. the student) or your accommodation provider. 
  • Please ensure that any suitcases you wish us to utilise during the room packing service are unlocked. Any locked suitcases where our operatives do not have access will be stored empty. 
  • Due to the high volume of students requiring this service, it is vital that your payments are kept up to date. If any of your payments fall overdue the process will be as follows:
    • Immediately – Email Notification advising payment failed
    • 7 Days – Final notice requesting payment
    • 14 Days – Your belongings will be disposed of without further recourse.
  • If we do not receive any responses to our communications, you will be deemed to have received all our notifications and communications.
