Frequently asked questions
How much does box storage in Leeds cost?
You pay per item, per month: small box £4.00, medium box £6.00, large box £8.00, suitcase £10.00. Collection is free, and you save up to 20% when you store for longer. You pay for your whole storage term upfront, and your exact price is shown before you pay.
Do I need to be a student?
No. Anyone in Leeds can use Leeds Storage. Lots of our customers are students between terms, but we also store for people moving house, between tenancies, renovating, or just short on space at home.
What can I store?
Boxes and suitcases only. Suitcases must be hard-shell or fully boxed so we can stack them safely. Weight limits: small box 15 kg, medium box 20 kg, large box 20 kg, suitcase 25 kg. We don’t store furniture, large items, or anything that won’t fit in a standard box or suitcase.
What can’t I store?
No food or perishables, liquids, plants, animals, cash, jewellery, passports or other valuables, anything flammable or dangerous, and nothing illegal. If you need to store something valuable or irreplaceable, please keep it with you.
What happens if something is lost or damaged?
Every box or suitcase comes with £50.00 loss cover included in the price. If we lose an item while it’s in our care, we’ll compensate you up to £50.00 for that item. We don’t open or inspect your boxes, so we can’t accept responsibility for damage to the contents. Pack carefully and use bubble wrap for anything fragile.
How long can I store for?
Anywhere from 1 to 12 months, and you can extend online if you need longer. Students often store for 3 to 4 months over the summer; home movers usually need a month or two.
Do I need to print labels?
No. Just pack and tape up your boxes. When we collect, we put our own tracking label on every box and suitcase, so we know exactly where each one is until it’s back with you.
How soon can you collect?
You can book a collection for any day from tomorrow. Slots by day — Monday to Wednesday: evening only; Thursday: morning, afternoon or evening; Friday: afternoon or evening; Saturday and Sunday: morning, afternoon or evening. The slots are Morning (9am–12pm), Afternoon (12pm–6pm), Evening (6pm–11pm).
Can I extend my storage?
Yes. Once your items are with us, open "Manage my booking", choose how many extra months you need and pay online. Extensions use the same prices and longer-stay discounts as a new booking, and your storage simply continues with no gap.
Can I get my things back before the end of my term?
Yes. Head to "Manage my booking", verify your reference and email, and use the link we send you to request an early return or ask us a question.
Which areas do you cover?
We collect from and deliver to homes, flats and student houses across Leeds, including Headingley, Hyde Park, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Horsforth, Kirkstall, Morley, Pudsey and the city centre, plus the halls of all four Leeds universities. Enter your postcode when you book and we’ll confirm straight away.
Do you collect from Leeds universities?
Yes. We collect from University of Leeds, Leeds Beckett University, Leeds Trinity University, Leeds Arts University accommodation, and from homes, flats and student houses across Leeds. Enter your postcode when you book and we’ll confirm we cover it.
How does payment work?
You pay for your whole storage term in one payment at checkout via Stripe. There’s nothing more to pay unless you decide to extend. We never see or store your card details.
Can I cancel?
Yes. You can cancel free of charge, for a full refund, up to 11:59pm on the day before your collection day. Use "Manage my booking" to cancel. Once we’ve collected your items, you can ask for them back at any time through "Manage my booking"; that ends your storage early rather than cancelling the booking. None of this affects your statutory cancellation rights, which our terms explain.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You manage your booking with your booking reference and email address. We email you a secure link whenever you need to make changes.
How do I contact you?
Call us on 0113 460 2104 or email [email protected]. If you have a booking, have your reference handy.
