In short

UNILUG NOW is UNILUG’s express student storage service in London. We can deliver UNILUG boxes and collect them once packed, or collect boxes you have already packed, at short notice. The express fee is £29.99 per booking, added to normal storage and box prices.

Nothing is booked or charged until we have confirmed availability and you have paid an itemised quote.

When It Helps

WHEN TO USE UNILUG NOW

Our standard booking needs 48 hours’ notice and collection is free. UNILUG NOW is for when you can’t wait that long.

You need boxes fast

We deliver UNILUG medium boxes (minimum four, £3.95 each) with their labels, then come back to collect them once you’ve packed.

You’re already packed

Your own sturdy boxes are taped and ready. We collect them, label them at your door and take them into storage. Fewer than four? Ask — we approve smaller collections case by case.

Plans fell through

A missed collection, a cancelled courier or a move-out date brought forward. Tell us your latest possible collection date and we’ll say honestly whether we can make it.

FAQ

UNILUG NOW QUESTIONS

Straight answers about the express service.

What is UNILUG NOW?▼
UNILUG NOW is UNILUG’s express student storage service in London, for when you need storage sorted at short notice. We can deliver UNILUG boxes and come back to collect them, or collect boxes you have already packed. It is subject to driver and box availability, and we confirm every request before you pay.
How much does UNILUG NOW cost?▼
The express fee is £29.99 per booking, not per box. It is added to the normal charges, it does not replace them: storage is charged per box per month at UNILUG’s standard rates, UNILUG medium boxes are £3.95 each, and return delivery is £7.99 per item when you book your return. You see every charge on its own line before you pay.
Is same-day or next-day service guaranteed?▼
No. For requests we receive before 12pm UK time we aim to offer next-day collection, and same-day box delivery where we can, but it always depends on drivers and boxes being available. We tell you what we can do before you pay anything, and we never take payment for times we have not confirmed.
How do I book UNILUG NOW?▼
Send a free availability request with your postcode, dates and box count. We check driver and box availability and reply by email or WhatsApp. If we can do it, we send an itemised quote with a secure payment link. Your booking is confirmed once that payment has gone through.
Is there a minimum order?▼
If we deliver UNILUG boxes for you, the minimum is four medium boxes. If your own suitable boxes are already packed, you can ask about collecting fewer, from one box, subject to our approval.
Can I use my own boxes?▼
Yes, for express collection. Each box must be a sturdy cardboard box, fully taped shut, no heavier than 25 kg and no larger than 60 × 45 × 42 cm. Our driver brings the labels and applies one to each box at collection. Bags, crates and larger items need our agreement first.
Where does UNILUG NOW operate?▼
London only: within our London service area, not the surrounding locations outside London, such as Egham, that our standard student storage also covers. Your collection postcode is checked when you send your request.
Can I cancel, and is the express fee refundable?▼
A request costs nothing and can simply be withdrawn. Once you have paid, you can cancel by WhatsApp. If you cancel before we have attended your address, everything you paid is refunded, including the express fee. If UNILUG cannot fulfil a confirmed booking, you can choose a new time or receive a full refund. What happens after a delivery or a collection visit is set out in clause 42 of our Terms & Conditions. Your statutory rights are not affected.
Can I add professional packing?▼
Yes, where our team is available. Professional room packing is a separate £169 service, covering up to two hours and up to 10 boxes. Tick the packing box on the request form and we will quote it alongside your express booking. More on our student packing service.
