CU Boulder On Campus Pick Up Schedule 2023
CSS was started at CU Boulder in 1996 and is owned and operated by a former CU student. This is our 26th year in business at CU Boulder! We employ over 60-70 current and former CU students to work for CSS each year. None of our services are subcontracted out. Our warehouses are located within 7 miles of campus. We own our own trucks and are licensed and insured. We offer NUMEROUS services for both on and off-campus students and parents all summer long and throughout the year.
These are the days when we will be delivering boxes (3 different sizes), tape, packaging supplies, labels, markers, packing instructions, and a poster tube to all signed up on campus CU students. CSS will have 2 trucks on campus handing out boxes, tape, and packing supplies. All on-campus students will need to meet us at either location listed below on either day on either weekend. Students will pick out the packing supplies at this time they need for storage or shipping services or both. Students can take up to 12 boxes of any size. We also have bubble wrap and wardrobe boxes to purchase if students need it.
Our CSS truck will be located and clearly marked at the following locations and times on all four days:
CU students that will not be around on these 4 box delivery days, if you email us ahead of time, we will leave boxes, tape, poster tube, and packaging supplies at the front desk of your residence hall. Please email us ahead of time if you want us to do this for you. Or you can have a friend or roommate come and pick them up from us.
**Need more boxes/ Signed up late/ missed box days: If you sign up last minute and miss the box delivery day or just need more boxes and tape, follow the on-campus pickup schedule listed below to meet us at ANY residence halls on campus at any of our trucks on Monday, May 2nd -Wednesday, May 4th to get more boxes, tape, and supplies
Note to ALL On-campus students- If you need a box kit and packing material sooner, you can go to the Fitter on the hill located at 1121 13th st. We work with the Fitter and stage our box kits there throughout the year. Go in and tell the employee at the counter you are signed up with COLLEGE STUDENT STORAGE and they'll give you a box kit and tape.
Note- PLEASE! CU Boulder On-Campus Students give yourself 30 minutes before we show up at your residence hall to start bringing your items down to the pickup location of your residence hall. We are on a very tight schedule.

Any items like bikes, skis, snowboards, futons, plastic containers (pack em full of stuff), desk chairs, any furniture, lamps, etc. do not need to be boxed, they are fine the way they are! We can store all items, they do not need to be in a box!
All flat-screen TVs must be repacked and boxed, or we will do this for you on pick up. There is a $50 - $75 depending on the size of the TV. This charge is for custom TV boxes, packing material, and time.

Any items that do not fit in our boxes and you want to be shipped, just give them to us the way they are and we will re-pack them at our warehouse and then ship them for you. We repack and ship a lot of Bikes and Flat Screen TV's for students! We put $500 of insurance on every item we ship for free.

** Do not store food: Please do not store any food with your items. Canned food is ok, anything else, please throw it away. It will draw insects and critters into your boxes.
