D2D Storage Services

D2D provides the following services: (i) delivery or shipping of packing materials (i.e., boxes and tape) to Customer’s residence; (ii) pick up of Customer’s possessions at Customer’s residence on the scheduled pickup date (the “Scheduled Pickup Date”) within the Pickup Period; (iii) transportation of items to a suitable storage location as chosen solely by D2D; and (iv) delivery of the Customer’s possessions to Customer’s residence at the completion of the storage term on the scheduled drop-off date (the “Scheduled Drop – off Date”) within the Acceptable Drop – off Period as described below, (collectively, the “Services”).

Packing Materials

At Customer’s request, D2D will deliver reasonable packing materials to your residence for packing your possessions.

Boxes not supplied by D2D used by the Customer for storage will be charged based upon the dimensions of D2D boxes, using the largest dimension of the nonconforming box to determine its comparable size to determine the applicable charge. Heavy boxes (boxes weighing over 50 pounds) will be charged a 50% surcharge at the sole discretion of D2D.

In the event a customer receives packing materials and wishes to cancel the service, D2D is not required to “buyback” the materials. If a client chooses to cancel their pickup time for storage, they are forgoing the ability to return any unused packing materials and will be required to pay for those materials in full.

Pickup Services

Pickups will typically begin the weekend prior to the first day of final exams and end on the last day of the weekend following finals for a given school unless otherwise noted on the D2D Website,www.dorm2dorm.com, (the “Pickup Period”). A pickup falling outside of the Pickup Period will be subject to D2D’s prevailing fee for pickups outside of the Pick – up Period, as such additional fee is set forth on the D2D Website (Out of Window).

You are responsible for scheduling a 90 minute or three (3) hour window of time (the “Pickup Window”) for D2D to pick up your boxes during the Pickup Period.

The D2D representative will verify your identity by asking you to produce an acceptable form of picture identification, and then transport the boxes containing your personal belongings to a storage facility.

In the event that Customer is unable to be present during the Pickup Window or if the pickup location changes, the Customer must provide notice to D2D 24 hours prior to the Scheduled Pickup Date. Failure to provide timely notice will result in a charge to Customer of D2D’s prevailing fee for pickups outside of the Scheduled Pickup Date, as such additional fee is set forth on the D2D Website Pick Up fee ($50).

If a Customer’s items are improperly packed and the Customer would still like to store those items, D2D will pack or re-pack the Customer’s items upon request after the items arrive at a Dorm2Dorm warehouse or facility, and Customer shall pay an additional fee at D2D’s prevailing hourly service rate, as such hourly service rate is set forth on the D2D Website.
