PHOENIX, June 29, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Collegeboxes®,
the No. 1 student storage and shipping provider in the country, is
offering students early delivery service to their schools to help
them comply with safety protocols and achieve social distancing
during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Colleges and universities across the country are looking for
ways to help their students return for the fall term while
following CDC guidelines. Many campuses plan to institute daily
limits on the number of students moving into university
housing.
"To prevent students from gathering on campus all at once,
Collegeboxes is encouraging the use of our Ship-To-School service,"
said Dain Howell, Director of
Collegeboxes. "With the Ship-To-School options, students don't have
to load up their car or lug items to the airport.
"The Early Delivery option with our Ship-To-School service is
great because we're able to work directly with schools to deliver
students' items to their dorm room before they arrive on campus.
This will make move-in easier and safer."
Call (866) 269-4887 or email info@collegeboxes.com for more
information.
DISCOUNT CODE: Collegeboxes is offering 10% off
shipping on orders that include the Ship-To-School service.
Students will enter the promo code "STS2020" on the website, or
mention it when calling.
Students who sign up for Ship-To-School at
collegeboxes.com can elect to order a Collegeboxes Supply
Kit, or use their own boxes. Once items are packed, students will
print labels from their Collegeboxes account and schedule the
delivery. Items are then shipped to a U-Haul facility near their
school until it's time for them to be brought to the student
residence.
With Ship-To-School, Collegeboxes can deliver items to hundreds
of dorm rooms with only a few workers, preventing students and
parents from congregating and risking their health.
"Collegeboxes is changing the way students move," Howell added.
"We're reducing the amount of shipments to campus mailrooms. We're
reducing the number of vehicles on campus. We're reducing the
amount of contact students and parents have with others to keep
them safer."
Because Collegeboxes is backed by U-Haul®, whose services are
available throughout the U.S., it can assist students at almost
every school in the country – from small colleges to the largest
universities. And Collegeboxes can be available to help on short
notice.
As an essential service provider, U-Haul remains open to meet
the needs of its communities. For details on what U-Haul has done
to enhance cleaning protocols, protect Team Members and customers,
and encourage the use of programs that inherently promote social
distancing and contactless business, please reference our

the COVID-19 Pandemic."
