New College Student? Read These Shipping Tips Before You Move to Campus

July 27, 2019 by admin

If you’ve just graduated high school & are about to embark on life as a college student, the odds are pretty good that you’re currently looking at everything you need to bring with you and freaking out just a bit about how all of this stuff is going to fit in your parents’ car. It’s a stressful situation, and things get even more fraught when you’re going a long distance – 100+ miles – to get to your new school.

Let us introduce you to your new favorite thing – student shipping services. You need a way to get your gear to school that’s simple and stress free? Work with us. We’ll help you get your stuff packed, labelled, and delivered to your dorms. We can schedule delivery to ensure you have your things when you need them. All you have to do is focus on getting yourself to school.

Choosing student shipping services is a way to make moving to school easier for anyone who is dealing with any challenging situation during the sometimes hectic move-in period. If you’re disabled, have difficulty moving heavy boxes across campus and up stairs, or are not emotionally in a place to manage the logistics of a student move on your own, having some or all of your stuff delivered to your new place by the movers is a smart decision.

Be aware that you can use student shipping services at the end of the semester as well, whether you need to ship your possessions back home, or forward them to your next adventure. Pricing for student shipping services depends on how much stuff you have to ship, what size and shape it is – bulky items like musical instruments, sports gear, and art projects can incur additional charges, and where your shipment is going. The best Boston student shipping company will help you choose the appropriate amount of shipping insurance to protect your stuff while it’s being transported.

"I'm in the military and I took an assignment in Texas to be closer to family in a town outside of Houston. That meant getting about 17 boxes of stuff—ranging from household goods to clothing—from my home in Marston Mills, Massachusetts to Missouri City, Texas. Working with Boston Pack and Ship was a pleasure. They were very helpful and answered all my questions. On the day of pickup, they were in and out within 15 minutes. I had regular updates from Bill Yankee and his staff. In fact, my stuff arrived a day early! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I didn't have to worry about a thing."

I used Boston Pack and Ship to send an antique piece of furniture from Boston to Sedona, AZ. I can't say enough about their service and the quality of the packing. Item arrived on the day they said it would and was in pristine condition. Easy to work with and great customer service. Highly recommend.

I hired Boston Pack and Ship to move two items from my storage unit in the Boston area to my home in Florida. Gene Sullivan was 110% responsive. He picked up the items on time, packed them expertly; and they arrived in perfect condition about ten days after pick up. I could not ask for better service. Five stars is not enough!

We at Casey Movers do not hesitate to refer our customers to this business for shipments we do not think we are best suited for (smaller inter-state shipments under 3,000lbs, etc). Have had great feedback from clients that have utilized this service. Thank you from all at Casey Movers for providing top notch service and have a great new year!
