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.

"In August, my 83-year-old father fell down the cellar stairs and broke his elbow. Following elbow replacement surgery in Boston he was transferred to skilled nursing care in West Bridgewater. Unfortunately, the injury left him unable to maintain his own household. My husband and I made the decision to move him to our home in California. My time frame was incredibly short - 11 days till departure via airplane to CA. I needed to pack and ship whatever items would be going to CA. We would not be moving the entire household - just several paintings, memorabilia, clothing and a large full keyboard electronic piano. After calling several moving companies that required large weight minimums to bid the job, I was referred to Joe Fell at Boston Pack and Ship.

Joe was absolutely wonderful. He calmly explained the shipping options available through Boston Pack and Ship and they could definitely handle the job. Joe helped me locate appropriately sized shipping boxes so that I could pack things up myself, thereby saving money. He also stayed in constant contact with me via phone and email, coaching me through the shipping process. We scheduled pickup nine days after my arrival in MA. Joe became an instant friend to me throughout this extremely stressful time. His caring nature made this difficult move a great deal easier. I am very grateful to have found this wonderful company. "
