How Ship-To-School Can Help Students Move to College Safely in Fall 2020

Although college move in day is a typically an exciting time, the COVID-19 pandemic has left many students and parents wondering what moving to college in Fall 2020 will look like. With many previously closed colleges and universities getting ready to re-open, school officials are focused on getting students back to campus safely by promoting social distancing as well as other CDC recommendations.

To help students and parents comply with the new health and safety regulations at their college, Collegeboxes – the number one college storage and shipping provider in the country – is offering early delivery of students’ belongings with the Ship-To-School service. Here’s how it works.

What is Ship-To-School?

Ship-To-School allows students to ship their belongings to their university residence at their convenience rather than take their items with them when they move to college. It’s an easy way to avoid hauling heavy boxes and luggage through the airport or on a long car ride, and instead have your college essentials waiting for you at your dorm when you arrive.

How Ship-To-School helps students and schools

Due to coronavirus concerns, universities are looking for innovative ways for students to move in to their dorms and get back to college life while adhering to social distancing and other safety protocols. For many colleges, this means limiting the number of students who can move in each day.

Ship-To-School helps schools reduce the crowds and congestion typically seen on college move in day while still efficiently getting students settled on campus. When students use the Early Delivery option, they can even get their belongings delivered to their dorm room before they arrive.

How Ship-To-School works:

After signing up for Ship-To-School on collegeboxes.com, students are given the option of using the Collegeboxes Supply Kit or their own boxes to pack their items (the Supply Kit comes with five Collegeboxes, a marker, five zip ties, 10 label pouches and tape). After the items are packed, students print and attach their shipping labels and schedule their delivery on Collegeboxes.com. The items are then picked up and brought to a secure U-Haul storage facility until the scheduled delivery date.

Collegeboxes works closely with more than 200 schools across the U.S. This gives the Collegeboxes team the necessary access to deliver hundreds of items to one school in a single day, eliminating the need for students and parents to be on campus during college move in day.
