Back to School Packing List

2011-07-20T15:45:00.000-07:00

School starts in just a few weeks and while someone as organized as yourself has probably already signed up for Ship To School service from Collegeboxes.com and has everything neatly packed and labeled for your FedEx pickup you scheduled right from your Collegeboxes.com account, we at Collegeboxes.com wanted to make sure you didn’t forget anything important.

To follow is a list that includes everything you could possibly need to bring to school. The stuff that maybe you, a new college freshman, may not have thought of. So, print this list and check it twice. You won’t want to be caught in your dormroom without this stuff…

Under bed storage things

George Forman Grill - you can thank us later!

Travel mug – for much needed coffee on the go

A planner

“Everyone Participates” board games – It wouldn’t be freshman year if you didn’t waste a few quiet Friday nights with Cranium, Taboo, Apples to Apples, etc. Everyone gets tired of lying around hammered/stoned eventually.
Dust Buster – for crumbs in your bed…or ash on your floor

iPod

Foam mattress thingy – Dorm mattresses blow
High School yearbook
Plastic Baggies - to bring some of that dorm food back to your room
Shower bucket

Snow pants - for inevitable snowball fights/dining tray sledding (University of Miami and Hawaii please ignore this one!)

Costumes/anything that can be turned into a costume – just trust us on this one
An extra phone charger
Condoms – Saves you the embarassment of asking your RA for one at 3am.
Ear plugs
Sleep mask
Pictures of your friends and family -these really get you through the rough first weeks

Flask

A small toolkit

Passport – for impromptu road trips

A Hot Pot - make a delicious ramen noodle stew!

Sports equipment

Stackable hangers – you have NO space for your stuff

Candles

Bathroom spray – you don’t want to be known as that girl in the bathroom

First Aid Kit – fill it with various meds (Pepto, Advil, Tums) and all the other stuff you may need for drunken injuries/miscellaneous illnesses. You can’t call mom anymore.
Camera

Healthy snacks

Video camera

A lockbox - to keep all those valuables
Going out bag/wallet/jacket - This is a must! Your stuff is going to get ruined/lost, so don’t take anything to a bar or party that you would be devastated by if it ended up covered in beer (or urine)
Mom and dad’s credit card info – “in case of emergencies”
Flip flops for the shower
Playing cards - You never know when a game of A$*hole/Kings will come up.
A cookbook
Your favorite stuffed animal – Don’t be ashamed; your roomie will probably have one too.
Scissors
Markers
Duct tape – It fixes everything; literally.
Stationery

Speakers – for an impromptu dance party with your roommate!

Febreze - easier than doin’ laundry sometimes

Black magic marker – Write your initials on your cds, dvds, clothing tags, blow-dryer, whatever.

Noise cancelling headphones – Block out the obnoxious ranting of the local chatterbox in the library, coffee shop, or even in your own dorm. Its a better alternative than a fist fight or screaming match, and probably less painful too.

How Collegeboxes.com Saves You Money with Ship To School Service

2011-07-01T12:57:00.011-07:00

While explaining how Collegeboxes.com’s awesome Ship To School service works, a customer asked, “… do you think this service is cheap?”

Good question!

A better description for Ship To School is, “a great value”. When compared to the alternatives Ship To School saves you money, time, and the back breaking work. Ship To School is the easiest way to get your belongings to school.

So, let’s take a look at Ship To School prices compared to several alternatives.
Example using 5 boxes, 45lbs each from New York to DC.

Option 1: Collegeboxes.com Ship To School

Starter-Supply Kit $39.99

Order online, shipped right to your door!
5 boxes, tape, marker, label pouchew

Shipping (per box) $30.00

Picked up right at your home!
24”x18”x16” box 45lbs or under from New York to DC\

Storage & Delivery (per box) $15.00

Delivered when you arrive, right to your door!

Total for Option 1: Boxes + Shipping + Storage/Delivery = $264.99

Option 2: Take boxes on the plane:

Drive to store to by boxes, tape = $40 (plus your gas and time)
Lug your boxes to airport, each box will be $50+ to check
Lug your boxes from aiport to cab, then to dorm (wow what a pain!) = $50+

Total for Option 2: Boxes + Cost to check boxes + Cab = $340.00 (not counting the extra work and time)

Option 3: Drive your boxes to campus:

Drive to store to by boxes, tape = $40 (plus your gas and time)
Drive 600 miles round trip from NY to DC = $110

600 Miles / 20 MPG x $3.67 per Gallon = $110

Hotel in DC for Mom & Dad = $150
Meals and misc per day = $160

2 days for round trip $80/day

Total for Option 3: Boxes+Gas+Hotel+Meals = $460 (not counting the extra work and time)

About Ship To School at University of Miami

Ship-To-School service is the most convenient, flexible, and inexpensive option for transporting your belongings to campus. Bring only essential items in your luggage when flying or driving to campus. Everything else, send it to us!

How Ship To School Works:

Avoid Hassle of the Campus Mail Room:

Using Collegeboxes.com's Ship To School service with “At Your Door” delivery, you can ship your boxes to Collegeboxes.com at any point in the summer, and Collegeboxes.com will deliver everything directly to your room when you arrive.

Collegeboxes.com estimates the weight of your boxes based on the dimensions. Customer agrees to pay additional shipping if the actual weight exceeds estimated weight.

Packing Tips (Electronics)

2011-06-27T14:14:00.009-07:00

Ship To School service with Collegeboxes.com is a great way to ship your boxed items to school. One important thing to remember is to pack your electronics very carefully

Here are a few packing tips that Collegeboxes.com has learned with experience, along with some tips from our friends at FedEx.

Our number 1 tip for shipping flat screen TV's and other electronics is to use the original box, then wrap the original box, and place in a 2nd larger box for added protection. Below are some detailed tips from FedEx.

Basic Box-In-Box Packing Method

Wrap product(s) individually with at least 2” thickness of Bubble Wrap® or foam material to fit snugly inside a corrugated box.
Use a second, outer container that is at least 6” longer, wider and deeper than the inner box.
Fill the bottom of the outer box with 2” to 3” of cushioning material.
Place the inner box in the centre of the outer box on top of the cushioning material.
Fill voids on all sides with more cushioning material.
Seal box.

Package size and weight limits for shipping

2011-06-27T08:30:00.009-07:00

As you prepare your boxes to Ship To School this fall, you may wonder just how large or heavy your packages can be. Here are some simply guidelines to follow, to make sure you packages are accepted and arrive safely on time.

Max Weight: 70LBS
Max Length: 108" (longest side)
Max Size: 165" in combined lenght plus girdth (L + 2W + 2H)

Oh no, is that algebra! Here is the simple explanation for the mathematically challenged.
Take the longest side (L), then add 2 times the width (W), then add 2 times the height (H).

Packing with our Signature
College Box (24"x18"x16")

Let's look at an example:

For our signature College Box, the formula would be: 24" + 2 x 18" + 2 x 16" = 92". Collegeboxes recommends you keep our box under 45LBS, so everything arrives safely, but your package will ship, as long as you keep it under 70LBS.

Now that you know what you can ship, sign up today to receive your boxes and have all your packages shipped to school!

School of the Month April 2011: Duke University - Durham, NC

2011-04-30T14:35:00.000-07:00

Duke University - Durham, NC

Duke University is a private research university located in Durham, North Carolina, Founded by Methodists and Quakers in the present-day town of Trinity in 1838, the school moved to Durham in 1892. In 1924, tobacco industrialist James Buchanan Duke established The Duke Endowment, prompting the institution to change its name in honor of his deceased father, Washington Duke.

The University is organized into two undergraduate, ten graduate and professional schools, and seven institutes

Duke is also well known for its sizable campus and Collegiate Gothic architecture, especially the Duke Chapel. The forests surrounding parts of the campus belie the University's proximity to downtown Durham. Duke's 8,610 acres (35 km2) contain three contiguous campuses in Durham as well as a marine lab in Beaufort. Construction projects have updated the freshmen-populated Georgian-style East Campus and the main Gothic-style West Campus, as well as the adjacent Medical Center over the past five years.

What makes Duke University one of Collegeboxes.com's favorite schools?
