After pick-up, an electronic pick-up ticket/invoice is sent to the billing email. Carefully review the inventory ticket, including pictures and descriptions of all items collected, and report any inconsistencies to USS immediately. If any discrepancies are not promptly reported to USS within 24 hours, we will be unable to address and resolve the issue.
The storage fees will then be automatically charged to the card you used during registration immediately after we have collected your items. The cost of storage depends on the number of items you decide to store. In the event that your card is unable to process the payment, we will send you a text and email with a payment link.
- Storage items are stored for 4-month minimum term. This calculation is determined by the month in which we collect the items until the month in which they are returned.
- Items typically cannot be retrieved at any point during the 4-month term. If your student needs to return early for reasons such as sports commitments, residential assistant training, or work obligations, please reach out to us for assistance.
- If you choose to have a Mid-Summer delivery while attending Tulane University, please be aware that this does not reduce the cost of your storage. The cost of your storage is determined solely by the number of items you choose to store.
- We do not bill on a month-to-month basis.
- It is the student or their guardian's responsibility to carefully review the pricing details.
- To avoid any additional charges, it is crucial to review the pricing page for your University. Please note that items such as boxes, bags, totes, trunks, or suitcases must not exceed the 50lb weight limit. Going over this limit will incur a fee of $100.00 per overweight item, in addition to the storage cost of each item.
- If storage fees remain unpaid for 30 days, the account is marked as a donation due to non-payment. We kindly ask for prompt payment to avoid this situation.
AUTO-CHARGE AUTHORIZATION:
By accepting USS terms and utilizing USS Storage services, the Customer agrees to authorize University and Student Services to automatically charge the Customer's provided credit card for all charges related to the Services, including but not limited to storage fees, shipping fees, additional fees, and any other applicable charges. This auto-charge authorization shall remain in effect for the duration of the Customer's use of Storage services. The Customer acknowledges that their credit card will be automatically charged on the due date for all outstanding amounts owed to University and Student Services, for any storage and applicable fees. In the event of a failed auto-charge attempt due to expired or invalid credit card information, USS’s inability to receive credit card authorizations, or any other reason that prevents USS from receiving payment for the Services, the Customer agrees to promptly update their payment information and ensure that USS is paid for the services and any additional fees. Failure to do so may result in a delay in the delivery of the Customer's possessions, additional fees, or the transfer of ownership to USS as stated in Section 6: Failure to Pay Storage Fees. The Customer understands and agrees that they are responsible for any charges incurred on their account because of the auto-charge authorization, and they will not hold USS liable for any overdraft fees or other charges imposed by their credit card issuer or bank due to insufficient funds or any other reasons. If the Customer wishes to revoke the auto-charge authorization, they must provide written notice to USS at least 30 days prior to their next scheduled billing date. Revoking the auto-charge authorization may result in the termination of the Services and may subject the Customer to additional fees and penalties as outlined in these Terms and Conditions. By continuing to use USS services and accepting these Terms, the Customer acknowledges and agrees to the auto-charge authorization clause, as set forth above, and authorizes University and Student Services to automatically charge their provided credit card for all applicable fees and charges.
