Unimove is a cheap, reliable student storage and moving service. We collect your belongings from your room, store them securely, and deliver everything back when you return to university.

You can book your cheap student storage or moving service online in minutes.
We understand that moving dates can sometimes change, particularly when accommodation arrangements are outside your control. We will always do our best to accommodate changes where possible, but our collection and delivery schedules are planned in advance and alternative dates cannot be guaranteed.
You may cancel or request a change to your booking up to 48 hours before your scheduled collection time.
Where at least 48 hours' notice is provided, any service charges paid will be refunded, subject to any packing kit charges detailed below.
If you wish to move your booking to another available date and provide more than 48 hours' notice, we will normally do this at no additional charge.
Bookings cancelled less than 48 hours before the scheduled collection time are non-refundable.
This is because vehicle space, storage capacity and collection schedules will already have been allocated to your booking.
We appreciate that accommodation arrangements can change unexpectedly.
If you request a different collection or delivery date within 48 hours of your existing booking, we will do our best to accommodate the change.
If we can accommodate your requested alternative date, we can transfer your booking for a £25 last-minute rescheduling fee.
If we cannot accommodate the alternative date requested, your original booking remains in place. If you are then unable to proceed with the original booking, this will be treated as a customer cancellation within 48 hours and the booking will be non-refundable.
The inability of UniMove to accommodate a customer-requested alternative date does not constitute a cancellation by UniMove.
Once a UniMove packing kit has been dispatched, a £75 packing kit charge applies if the booking is subsequently cancelled.
Where your booking would otherwise qualify for a refund, £75 will be deducted from the amount refunded.
This charge applies once the kit has been dispatched, regardless of whether it has yet been delivered to you, as UniMove will already have incurred the packing and delivery costs.
You are welcome to keep and use the packing kit once received.
The £75 packing kit charge is separate from the £25 last-minute rescheduling fee. If your booking is successfully rescheduled and you already have a packing kit, you will not be charged for another kit.
If UniMove is unable to fulfil your booking on the agreed date for reasons within our control, we will offer you a suitable alternative date or a refund for the affected service.
The restrictions relating to customer-requested changes do not apply where UniMove has cancelled or changed the agreed service.
Cancellation and change requests must be made directly to UniMove by email. The time we receive your request will be used to determine whether it falls inside or outside the 48-hour cancellation period.
Please contact us as soon as you become aware that your moving dates may change. The earlier you contact us, the more likely we are to be able to accommodate an alternative date.
