FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q:What does the recommended damage waiver cover?
A:The damage waiver covers everything and anything that could possibly happen to the unit while it is in your possession. This low cost waiver plan gives you the peace of mind of knowing that your credit card can never be charged for any type of damage that may occur. Since it is your card on file with us, you are financially responsible for this unit not your roommate. It is important for you to realize that there will be a lot of young adults that will be traveling in and out of your son/daughters room throughout the year. Most of the damage that occurs is the result of someone else and NOT your son/daughter. For this reason, we strongly suggest that you protect yourself from any potential liability.

Q:I want to order the MicroFridge , but I do not know my roommate or my residence hall assignment.
A:You should fill out the order form and submit it from our order page. This way you have a unit reserved for the initial delivery date. If you find out your roommate has ordered also, or that they are bringing a refrigerator with them, you can cancel the order and get a full refund as long as the MicroFridge has yet to be delivered.

Q:Is the price for one or two semesters?

Q:Can I purchase a protection plan to entitle me to a pro-rated refund if my student needs to leave campus for any reason?
A:Yes, our Purchase protection plan is the perfect option. Here’s how it works:

*The Purchase protection plan entitles you to a pro-rated refund of your Microfridge rental fee based on the following formula. The academic year is broken down into 6 segments. For example, if you cancelled your order anytime during segment 3, you would receive a refund for the remaining 3 segments which would equate to a 50% refund on your Microfridge rental fee (other fees such as insurance and cleaning are not eligible).

Segment 1 – Date delivered through September 15
Segment 2 – September 16 – November 15
Segment 3 – November 16 to December 31
Segment 4 – January 1 to February 29
Segment 5 – March 1 to March 31
Segment 6 – April 1 through end of spring term

*All cancelled orders under the PPP program are subject to a $30 early pick up fee which will be deducted from your refund.
