Leave the country. Keep the flat’s contents.

Shipping a household across a border costs more than storing it for two years, and you may not be staying. Store it here, at a price per article you can read, and decide from the other side.

What we store here

What isn’t worth a container.

  • The sofa you’ll want back
  • 230V appliances
  • Winter coats
  • Skis
  • Vinyl
  • Framed art
  • Garden tools
  • A bike
  • Kitchen equipment
  • Children’s things
  • Papers
  • Boxes

Odd sizes, fragile pieces and awkward shapes are priced individually. Tell us what it is and we’ll quote it before you commit.

How it works

Three steps. No site visit, no tape measure.

A (Free) Collect applies from 6 articles with a 3-month minimum. Below that, a Collect is quoted before you book. Drop-off and pick-up are always free. Worth knowing: decide now who can order things back while you are away, and name them in My Storage, your account with us. Doing it from abroad later is slower than doing it today.

1

Split it three ways

What flies with you, what gets sold, and what waits here. Only the third list needs pricing.

2

Get it to us

Drop it off, ship it, or book a (Free) Collect and we’ll load it.

3

Decide from abroad

Order it back to a French address, release it to a freight forwarder, or leave it where it is for another year.

Pricing

€5per article, per month, incl. VAT. Larger articles cost more.

Priced per article, month by month. Two years of storing a flat’s furniture is usually less than one international container, and you keep the option of not shipping at all.

Questions

The things people ask before they book.

Over a year or two, usually yes, and it’s reversible. A container is one large irreversible cost. Storage is a monthly figure you can stop by ordering your things back.
You appoint the freight forwarder and we release the articles to them, packed and labelled. We don’t quote international freight ourselves.
Then at some point you’ll want it gone. Tell us and we’ll dispose of it at €150 per cubic metre, or sell privately and have the buyer collect. Either way, tell us rather than stopping payment.
No. The account needs an email and a card. Where you live has no bearing on whether your articles can stay.

Referral programme

15% off your monthly storage, for the life of the order.

Every StoragePal customer has a referral code. Book on one and your monthly storage is 15% lower for as long as the order runs, and whoever referred you earns storage credit.

New customers only, one discount code per order, and a referral code works once, on a first order. Referrers may use a discount code and their credits together. Discounts apply to monthly storage fees; transport, Guaranty and administrative fees are charged in full.

Partner code

Your university, residence or employer may already have one.

A partner code is typically 15% off monthly storage for everyone they house or employ. Ask your housing office, residence manager or HR team. If they don’t have one yet, send us their name and we’ll approach them.

Go. Leave it somewhere sensible.
