Forget the rental truck — here’s how to move your life across the country with just a few boxes, a shipping label, and total peace of mind.
The Rise of the “Box-Only” Move
Not every move needs a truck, movers, or a back-breaking day of hauling furniture.
More people than ever — students, interns, digital nomads, and traveling professionals — are discovering a smarter, cheaper way to move: shipping boxes directly to storage or their new address.
That’s where Ship2Storage comes in. It’s the easiest way to move cross-country when you only have a few boxes, not a household full of furniture.
The Micro Move: Simplify Everything
Here’s the truth: most modern moves don’t fill a moving truck.
A typical student or professional move fits into 4–8 boxes — clothing, books, bedding, small electronics, and personal items.
So why pay $1,500+ for a mover or drive a U-Haul across the country?
With Ship2Storage, you can:
Pack your boxes at your own pace.
Print prepaid FedEx or UPS labels through your account.
Ship your boxes directly to a secure warehouse for storage — or have them sent straight to your new home.
No trucks, no movers, no time pressure.
Just you, a few boxes, and the freedom to move your life without the chaos.
Real Example: Taylor’s Two-City Move
Taylor, a recent college grad, landed her first job in Austin after finishing school in Seattle.
She packed five boxes — mostly clothes, books, and kitchen items — and shipped them with Ship2Storage.
“It cost me about $180 total,” Taylor says. “Friends paid five times that with movers. I tracked my boxes online and had them delivered right to my new apartment the day after I moved in.”
That’s the modern move — flexible, budget-friendly, and stress-free.
Why It’s Cheaper Than Traditional Moving
| Option | Cost Estimate | Effort Required | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-Service Movers | $1,200–$3,000+ | Movers handle it all | Whole-house moves |
| U-Haul or PODS | $600–$1,200 | You drive or load | Furniture or large loads |
| Ship2Storage | $90–$225 total (4–6 boxes) | Self-pack, ship | Small moves or personal items |
You only pay for the boxes you actually ship, not the empty space in a moving truck.
And because you’re using FedEx and UPS — the same networks trusted by major retailers — your boxes are scanned, tracked, and insured every step of the way.
Perfect for Students, Interns, and Remote Professionals
Ship2Storage is ideal for:
Students shipping between school and home.
Graduate interns moving to temporary housing for summer or research.
Travel nurses and remote workers relocating between contracts.
Digital nomads changing cities every few months.
Instead of moving everything, you ship just what matters — and store what doesn’t until you need it again.
Storage + Moving = The Perfect Combo
Here’s the best part: if you’re not sure where you’re headed next, you can ship your boxes to storage first.
They’ll be safely stored in a climate-controlled, barcode-tracked warehouse until you’re ready to have them sent anywhere in the U.S.
This hybrid model — part moving, part storage — is what makes Ship2Storage unique.
You’re not just shipping boxes; you’re simplifying your entire moving life.
