Jones Summer Storage Program
Jones Moving & Storage is pleased to offer a Storage Program specifically designed for RISD students! This program is designed to provide you with the best storage services available at the best prices possible. Details are listed below. Be sure to sign up in advance to store your belongings in the Historic Jones Warehouse located just one mile from campus!
All stored items will be returned to the new student rooms prior to your arrival in September. By signing up for storage, you are authorizing us to release your items in storage to a member of Residence Life. As always, goods coming into storage will be inventoried and checked off when being delivered back to the rooms. All accounts must be paid in full before goods are delivered in the fall.

Important: Boxes cannot be too heavy for one person to carry. Overweight boxes can break open. Do not use "extra large" boxes as they are not strong enough to protect the contents. Best to use boxes no bigger than marked "large."
"Extra large" and "grande" boxes are too big and can crush and split open.
RISD Summer Storage Policy
- Best to sign up by May 20th.
- Boxes must not be too large and too heavy to be lifted and carried by one person. Overweight boxes will be assessed a $25 charge if two men required to lift and carry.

- All belongings will be delivered back prior to your arrival in the fall.
- Students must store goods under their names and not be combined with other students.
- The normal contents of a standard dorm room will be accepted as one shipment.
- No food, no liquids, and especially no flammable liquids.
- Payment is accepted by check, money order, or credit card. Cash will not be accepted.
- All goods will be inventoried with a copy given to each student.
- Warehouse liability is available for a small extra charge. Call for details.
- There may be an extra charge for forcing us to make repeat pick-ups or last minute cancellations.

Reminders
- All goods should be double-labeled with name on both sides.
- Cartons should have lids and be sealed shut. Remember, cartons should not be too large to be carried.
- Mark only those boxes containing delicate items as "fragile"
- Make sure they are properly packed, taped, sealed, and labeled with your name on two sides of the box.
- Use the right size box. Heavy items (books, etc.) go in small boxes. Light items may go in large boxes
- Heavy-duty plastic bags can be used for quilts or comforters but are not recommended. Plastic bags can and frequently do rip open exposing goods to possible soiling or loss.
- Clothing should be in cartons only, not plastic bags
- Bulky items such as guitars, bicycles, mirrors and/or lamps do not necessarily need to be boxed, but they should be protected and labeled.
- Make sure we obtain your billing address and contact number during the summer.
- Please be ready and on time on moving day. Please answer your phone and be ready to go. Timing is critical to get all students picked up.
