Colorado College Coronavirus Update April 1st

        

This is Michael, owner of College Student Storage, I wanted to let you know we are trying to get the school to let us do in-room pack ups for Colorado College students and parents who have items left in the residence halls because they were on Spring break when this epidemic hit. I know many of you don't want to travel back to Colorado to pack up your dorm rooms with the Coronavirus epidemic going on
 
We have sent out numerous emails to Colorado College housing administrators and I am waiting to hear back. We would like to work with CC housing on this and coordinate with the directors of each residence hall or RA's on the student's floor to go into students' rooms to pack them up. CSS is licensed and insured. At this point CC told me to stop emailing them, they are aware of our services and are trying to figure out what to do. they are also holding off on doing anything until the travel ban is lifted. Also they still have several hiu=undred students living on campus for the rest of the semester and they don't want outside companies or people coming in and out of the halls. If you need an in-room pack up or pick up, you should register with us ASAP. That way if we hear something we can update you. If you sign up and don't use our services, we will refund your deposit. 
 
We need your help in telling the school that CSS would be a great option for many of you that live out of state who need items picked up or packed up out of the residence hall rooms. So far the school has put us off. I have emailed and called with the head of CC housing and numerous other staff several times. There is only so much I can do. We need you to call or email the CC  housing and Residence life depts to tell them you want CSS to pack up or pick up the items out of your rooms and store or ship them for you. We have all the logistics, supplies and insurances in place and are ready to go. 
 
We are planning on doing these in-room pack ups once a week for CC students and parents once a week if the school will let us. That way we are not constantly coming in and out of the residence halls on a daily basis, and there is no rush to get this done, we have plenty of time between now and school letting out. We also are offering pickups for CC students and parents that come back to campus and pack up their rooms and need summer storage or shipping services.
 
When we do these in-room pick ups we will bring boxes and tape, pack up students' residence hall rooms and either put items in storage or ship them home for you. We will also facetime with the student and or parent while packing up the room. We also have custom boxes for TV's and can store or ship anything
 
CSS is a door to door service, we will deliver all storage items to CC students in August before school starts, where ever they live on or off-campus 
 
I will update this schedule once we hear back from CC housing, along with pick up dates and steps to take. Also, we will continue to send out emails to signed up CC students and parents.
 
For students staying in Colorado Springs until school ends in Mid May- We will post our normal box delivery and pick up schedule for on and off-campus students in mid-April. Don't worry, we have you covered. Right now we're working on all the CC on-campus students and parents that need our help moving out of the residence halls because of the coronavirus epidemic.
 
We are going to keep you updated with emails to signed up parents and students, Instagram (collegestudentstorage), CSS Facebook page post. Also, I will re-make the CC pick-up schedule for all on and off-campus students as we move forward as this situation changes.
 
Dan and I are here every day dealing with this crisis at all 8 of the colleges CSS provides services at. Ideally, if you need to reach us, email works best, we are getting crushed on the phones. I know you all have questions and concerns, we're working on all the details. We are here all Spring and Summer long to field your emails and phone calls. Understand WE ARE READY TO HELP YOU and have all the logistics in place. We both have been doing this for 24 years! You're in good hands. We are working on this on a daily basis and trying to figure out what schedule will work best for you and our staff and trying to work with Colorado College Housing. The best thing you can do if you need our services again this year is to sign up at csstorage.com and register. That way you’ll receive our email updates. It’s a $45 deposit. If you don’t use our services, the $45 will be refunded to you.
 
If you know other CC parents or students that are in this tough situation and need summer storage or shipping services, please tell them to sign up at csstoage.com and get registered, we can help them.
 
PS- We store cars indoors throughout the summer as well.
 
Sincerely
