Why USF Students Need a Local Storage Solution
Move-out week at USF is one of the most chaotic weeks on the Tampa Bay calendar. Nearly 6,500 students vacate residence halls within a few days of spring finals — all competing for parking, elevator time, and moving help simultaneously. USF housing requires students to vacate within 24 hours of their last final exam, or by the residence hall closing date (typically early May).
The problem: Most USF students are out-of-state. Flying home with a mini-fridge isn’t an option. Renting a U-Haul during peak season costs $150–$300 just for the truck. Self-storage units near USF fill up fast. And national brands like Storage Scholars? They’re based in North Carolina and have no listed presence at USF Tampa.
The solution: DormRoomBoxes is headquartered in Tampa — minutes from USF. We know the campus, the dorm layouts, and the parking situation. We’ve done this before. Let us handle move-out while you finish finals.
How It Works for USF Students
Our 4-step process is designed to take every ounce of moving stress off your plate. Here’s exactly what happens from start to finish:

We deliver packing boxes to your dorm room (free)
No trip to Home Depot. We bring sturdy boxes, tape, and labels directly to your USF residence hall

Additional Services
Free featured dates are provided based on the academic calendar and the demand on the campus. Dates outside of those are an additional charge. To view the dates and their respective pricing, Get started or login and enter your campus.
Our movers can pack your items using industry best practices to safely store your items on select campuses.
All you need to do is print labels from your account and attach them to your boxes. Our movers will collect the boxes, and have them shipped out for you. Shipping of items that are already placed into storage will incur Additional Warehouse Labor charge.
Boxes over 65 lbs may be subject to a charge of $30. Avoid this by splitting up the heavy items, like books, among your boxes.
If your delivery destination is outside of a 10 mile radius from your campus, it is $10 per mile. In the instance that you're transferring to a new school or moving far, we can ship your boxes too and you just have to pay for the freight and $18/box handling.
- Ship out request from storage
- Warehouse pickup request from storage
- Return to storage if warehouse pickup or delivery is cancelled and not rescheduled to a new date within 3 business days.
- Cancellations for pickups or deliveries on dates other than our free featured dates will be refunded in full if cancelled in advance of 2 business days for pickups and 3 business days for deliveries.
- Pickup/delivery fees greater than $100 will be granted a partial refund of any amount in excess of $100 if cancelled/rescheduled 1 business day before a pickup or 1-2 business days before a delivery. (i.e if a fee is $199 and cancelled the day before, $99 will be refunded)
- Cancellation or rescheduling on the day of the move will incur a $30 cancellation fee and will not be refunded for any fees for special date booking.
If you need us to discard your items we can handle that for you - $30/item.
