Need storage while you Study Abroad? We offer on and off-campus storage with seamless pickukp and delivery. Call (305) 900-6700 to learn more.
Thank you for choosing Stow Simple. These terms (the "Study Abroad Storage Terms") govern the Study Abroad Storage plans: supply drop-off, pickup, storage and return delivery for students who are away while studying abroad. Please read them carefully. By reserving online, by phone or by email, you agree to these terms. Stow Simple may update these terms; the version in effect on your reservation date applies to your storage term.
Every Study Abroad plan has a minimum 8-month Storage Term. Your plan's monthly price includes supply drop-off, in-room pickup, storage, and one return delivery. The cost of pickup and delivery is spread across the 8 monthly payments, which is why the 8-month term is required.
Your plan covers storage from your December pickup through your scheduled August delivery (on-campus August 6–13; off-campus August 16–20). There is no extra storage charge for any days within those dates.
| Plan | Space included | Monthly price | 8-month total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimalist | Up to 6 bins or 5 boxes | $95 | $760 |
| Standard | Up to 12 bins or 10 boxes | $125 | $1,000 |
| Plush | Up to 18 bins or 15 boxes | $165 | $1,320 |
You may fill your plan's space with Stow Simple bins, Stow Simple boxes, or your own items of similar size. Items beyond your plan's space are measured and priced separately; we will confirm the added cost before pickup.
If you request delivery before the end of your 8-month Storage Term, all remaining monthly payments for the term are due before delivery is scheduled.
If you ask us to deliver after August 20, miss your scheduled delivery, or don’t give us your fall address by July 15, storage continues month to month at your plan’s rate (Minimalist $55, Standard $79, Plush $105 per month, plus applicable Florida sales tax). Each month is billed in full, in advance, and is not prorated. We may move your items to another Stow Simple storage location; this does not change your rate. If your delivery is delayed by us or by weather, you won’t be charged for the delay.
Cancellations must be made by phone at (888) 544-6050 or by email to support@stowsimple.com and confirmed by a Stow Simple team member.

We may contact you by phone, email or text to confirm a more specific time. Delivery outside these windows, or outside our Miami service area, may be available for an added fee.
Stow Simple bins are included with every plan. Stow Simple boxes may be purchased separately (5 boxes with packing tape for $55; additional boxes $10 each). We will email you a record of the supplies delivered.
You must have Your Things packed and ready at your scheduled pickup time. If you are not present at your scheduled pickup, a rescheduling or cancellation fee may apply. If you leave Your Things unattended for pickup, Stow Simple is not responsible for damage or theft before we collect them.
On-campus pre-arrival delivery does not require you to be present; we will place Your Things in your assigned room. For off-campus delivery, you or someone you authorize must be present at the scheduled time. If you choose not to be present for an off-campus delivery, Stow Simple is not responsible for damage or theft after Your Things are delivered.
Please tell us your new on-campus room or off-campus address by July 15th so we can schedule delivery.
Stow Simple bins remain our property at all times. Bins must be packed with lids lying flat. Any bins not used for storage must be returned empty at pickup, and all bins must be returned empty at delivery. If bins are not returned and we need a second trip to collect them, a $60 fee applies. The replacement cost for lost or damaged bins is $35 per bin and will be charged to the card on file.
You are responsible for packing Your Things; Stow Simple team members do not pack Boxes. Pack items so they will not be damaged during transport and storage, since Boxes are moved for pickup, storage and delivery. We recommend padding items and the inside of bins or boxes with bubble wrap or packing paper. By handing us a Box, you confirm it is packed appropriately. Stow Simple is not responsible for damage caused by improper packing. We may refuse any Box we reasonably believe weighs more than 45 lbs, not counting the Box itself.
Pack larger items in a box where possible, and wrap and pad anything delicate or sharp. Coil electric cords and tape moving parts in place. Unplug mini fridges and window AC units at least 24 hours before pickup and let them drain and air out completely; remove AC units from the window before we arrive. Stow Simple is not responsible for damage to larger items that were not properly packed or prepared.
Stow Simple does not dismantle or assemble furniture, or disconnect, reconnect, dismantle or reassemble appliances, fixtures or equipment. Stow Simple may use subcontractors to help with pickups, deliveries and other services under this Agreement.
By using the Storage Service, you confirm that:
You may not store:
Do not store official documents or items containing personally identifiable information. You should not store fragile items; if you do, you accept the risk that they may be damaged. Stow Simple may refuse, or return to you at your cost, any item that it reasonably believes poses a risk to people, the facility, vehicles or other customers' property.
Your Things are stored in a climate-controlled facility in Miami. We use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the facility between 60°F and 80°F and to protect Your Things from mold, mildew and similar growth. Because humidity and conditions inside sealed bins and boxes can vary, we cannot guarantee that mold or mildew will never develop, and we are not liable for its natural growth.
The Storage Service is not suitable for heirlooms or irreplaceable items, such as original documents, records, photographs, artwork, or items valued for sentimental reasons. You agree not to store such items. If you do, you accept the risk that they may be damaged and waive claims for that damage.
You confirm that each Box contains property worth $100 or less, and that all of Your Things together are subject to an aggregate limit of $0.60 per pound. If Your Things are lost, damaged or destroyed because Stow Simple breached its obligations, Stow Simple's liability is limited to direct damages equal to the fair market value of the property, up to $100 per Stow Simple Bin or Box or $0.60 per pound for all of Your Things (any other eligible item).
Stow Simple does not carry insurance on your personal property that you can claim under. Coverage above Stow Simple's liability limit, or where Stow Simple is not liable, is your responsibility. You may buy your own coverage for Your Things; if you do not, Stow Simple is not liable beyond the amounts and conditions in these terms.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Stow Simple and its agents are not responsible to you or anyone else for any loss, damage or injury from any cause, unless directly caused by Stow Simple's fault. Stow Simple is not liable for damage caused by acts of God, including hurricanes.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, you will indemnify and hold harmless Stow Simple and its agents from all losses, costs, attorneys' fees, damages and claims arising from Your Things, your use of the Storage Service, or your breach of this Agreement.
Any insurance carried by you or by Stow Simple is for the sole benefit of the party carrying it. Each party waives its right to claim against the other for loss or damage from a casualty, and will have its insurance policies endorsed to waive that right for its insurer. You agree that your insurer will not be subrogated to any claim you have against Stow Simple. This is a specifically bargained-for condition of this Agreement.
To be considered, a claim must:
Stow Simple has a lien on all personal property you store for outstanding storage charges, labor or other charges, present or future, and for expenses necessary for its preservation or reasonably incurred in its sale or other disposition as permitted by Florida law. Stow Simple may enforce the lien by selling the property at a lien sale in accordance with applicable law, after giving you due and proper notice.
If you do not respond to our attempts to schedule delivery and do not arrange an alternate delivery, Your Things are considered abandoned. You remain responsible for all charges and fees, including storage after the August delivery window. Stow Simple may take ownership of abandoned property 30 days after the end of the August delivery window, after giving notice to the contact information on your account.
You must promptly tell us if your email address, phone number or mailing address changes. Stow Simple is not responsible if you miss a notice because your contact information was out of date.
Except as provided in this Agreement, you waive claims for damage to or loss of any item against Stow Simple and its employees, and release Stow Simple and its representatives from the costs of processing or defending any claim arising from this Agreement.
Promotional offers may not be combined and are valid only during the period stated in the related marketing materials.
This Agreement is the entire agreement between you and Stow Simple and replaces all prior or contemporaneous statements, written or oral. No Stow Simple representative may make promises beyond what is written here; the Agreement may be amended only in a writing signed by both parties. By submitting a reservation, you confirm that you have read, understand and accept these terms. This Agreement is governed by Florida law, and any court action relating to it must be brought in the courts of the State of Florida.
