The Challenges International College Students Face

July 4, 2008 By admin

You know as well as anybody the challenges international college students face. One typical dilemma occurs at the end of every school year. That’s when students must figure out what to do with their things until the fall. Boston Pack and Ship, small load pack and shipping specialists for the past two decades, created an International Students division just to accommodate international student storage needs.

We offer temporary international student storage space in a secure, climate-controlled facility, conveniently located in Braintree, Mass. While other storage facilities charge you a flat rate for a specific size storage room, Boston Pack and Ship only charges for the space you use. So, you’re not renting an 8-foot by 10-foot space if what you’re storing only requires half that.

For students who are graduating and moving out of Boston or want some or all of their things to be shipped home for the summer, Boston Pack and Ship specializes in international student shipments of less than 1,000 pounds—parameters that can cover a lot of different items. We employ customized package and crate-building services, as well as state-of-the-art packing solutions, like foam-in-place technology, so students can safely ship fragile items like computer monitors, stereo equipment and other pieces. We’ll even pick those items up so no damage occurs while trying to get their shipment to Boston Pack and Ship.

US student shipping services
Boston Pack and Ship offers multiple U.S. student shipping options including ground, air, delivery to a terminal for pickup or inside delivery. International options include air or ocean with door-to-door or door-to-port delivery. Full, declared value is available on both domestic and international shipments. Pick-up of items to be packed and shipped for delivery is made by appointment.

Your international students go through enough stress during the school year with classes, adjusting to a new city and culture, making new friends and so many other things. Boston Pack and Ship’s international student storage and shipping can alleviate one of the bigger ones—what to do with their stuff between school years and after graduation. If you would like to learn more about how Boston Pack and Ship services can help your international students, please give us a call at (800) 400-7204. We’d love the opportunity to set up an informational meeting and go over the range of international student services we offer.

Student self storage

July 4, 2008 By admin

Student self storage is also a secure solution to student storage needs. Student self storage is convenient, safe and cost-effective. Student Self Storage is also ideal for all your document and data storage. Like our possessions, student self storage is clearly here to stay. We provide an even better alternative to student self storage.

“Moving in and out of a city apartment or dorm room is tough enough, never mind having to furnish and refurnish every year because you don’t know what to do with your furniture between school years,” said Joe Fell, co-owner of Boston Pack and Ship. “Our new International Student division is specially tailored to accommodate the needs of the international students. That can range from providing temporary summer storage space in Boston to shipping your furniture and other small load items either back home overseas or to your next stop after graduation.”

Boston Pack and Ship offers temporary student summer storage space in a secure, climate-controlled facility, conveniently located in Braintree, Mass. While other student summer storage facilities charge you a flat rate for a specific size storage room, Boston Pack and Ship only charges for the storage space you use. So, you’re not renting an 8-foot by 10-foot space if what you’re storing only requires half that.

College students are not quite ready for the need and use of the self storage business. March is here and we start to see a slight change in the student self storage business. Most student self storage facilities have a state-of-the-art computer monitoring system. Our student storage professionals have just the right size storage space for you, they can accept delivery of your goods into one of our student self storage facilities, even arrange for pick up of your goods when you have a special need.
