Storage services

Student storage services

Abels provides unique student storage services to the universities and colleges across East Anglia. Students worried about what to do with their belongings when not at college or university can have them collected and stored by Abels, and then re-delivered when they return after the summer break. The service is flexible, also enabling students to deliver and collect their own belongings to/from the storage warehouses.

Prices start from 25 including VAT to store four boxes for five weeks, without collection/delivery ( 70 with). A student with eight boxes storing for 15 weeks with collection and delivery would cost 145 including VAT. For a full list of our costs, please download the information sheet.
