Greenbox Storage’s Student Guide: Ship to School
August has arrived, and after a wonderful summer, it’s time to think about your college move-in. Whether you’re a few hours away or across the country, moving your belongings can be a challenge. But it doesn’t have to be!
Sure, you could try to cram everything into a single suitcase, but let’s be real, there are some essentials you just can't leave behind. Think about it: bedding, drawers, a comfy desk chair, a mattress topper, pillows, a rug, room decor, towels, a mirror, a mini-fridge, and a microwave. Plus, you can't forget clothes, shoes, and all your school supplies! And if you play sports or need a bike to get around, that list gets even longer. So how do you get everything to your college dorm?
Enter Ship to School, your solution for a smooth college move-in.
What is “Ship to School”?
Ship to School is here to make your college move-in a breeze. Here's how it works: you ship your belongings to Greenbox Storage, where we keep them safe over the summer. Then we deliver everything straight to your dorm when you get to campus.
But that's not all! You can also order items from your favorite online stores like Amazon, Target, and Bed Bath & Beyond and have them shipped directly to us. We'll make sure these new goodies, along with everything you sent from home, are delivered to you when you arrive on campus. No more lugging heavy boxes or cramming your car full – just a smooth, easy move-in experience!
Who is it For?
This service is perfect for any college student who doesn’t live near campus. It’s a lifesaver for students (and their parents) who live more than a couple of hours away, and it’s especially helpful for those coming from across the country. Ship to School is also ideal for families short on time or resources for a long-distance move.
Is it Expensive?
When considering the costs associated with moving across the country or even across town, Ship to School is definitely a more affordable option. Factor in the cost of moving supplies, hiring movers, renting a moving truck, and paying for gas, plus the potential expense of staying in hotels during the move. For international students, the logistics of arriving on campus without essentials can be particularly challenging.
Additionally, consider the time and effort saved. Your parents might take days off work to help with the move, and the actual process of moving can be stressful and time-consuming. With Ship to School, your items are delivered directly to your residence, saving you and your family time and effort.
