Skip the trucks, pickup windows, and pricey movers—Ship2Storage lets you pack, ship, and store your stuff (and your life) from anywhere for less.

Every spring, students everywhere face the same question: What do I do with all my stuff between semesters?
Your dorm closes, your lease ends, and suddenly you’re staring at a few boxes full of clothes, books, and your life.

Most students either drag everything home, pay for an entire storage unit they barely fill, or book a campus moving company that charges as if you’re shipping a mansion.

But what if you only have a few boxes—not a full apartment?
That’s where Ship2Storage stands out—a smarter, simpler, and often much cheaper solution for students who just need to store or move a few things.

1. The Problem with Traditional Campus Movers

Companies like Dorm Room Movers, Storage Scholars, and Collegeboxes make it easy to store your belongings over summer break. They’ll send movers to your dorm, pick up your boxes, store them locally, and redeliver next semester.

Convenient? Sure. But you’re paying for that convenience twice: once for the pickup labor and again for local storage.

Most campus mover programs:

• Charge pickup and delivery fees.

• Store by cubic foot, not by box.

• Require you to match their pickup windows.

• Often don’t ship beyond your college town.

If you’re flying home across the country or studying abroad, that model quickly becomes expensive and inconvenient.

2. Ship2Storage Works Where Campus Movers Can’t

Ship2Storage flips the traditional moving model on its head. Instead of hiring movers, you handle your own small move—without the hassle.

Here’s how it works:

1. Pack your boxes right in your dorm or apartment.

2. Print prepaid FedEx or UPS labels from your Ship2Storage account.

3. Ship your boxes to Ship2Storage’s secure, climate-controlled Warehouse.

4. When you’re ready, request return shipping to any U.S. address.

That’s it. No movers to schedule, no time slots to miss, no local storage contracts to juggle. Just flexible, per-box storage that travels with you—wherever college life takes you.

3. Why It Costs Less (and Makes More Sense)

The secret behind Ship2Storage’s affordability is simple: you only pay for what you store.
There’s no truck, crew, or hidden handling fee—just transparent, per-box pricing and discounted national shipping.

For students with just a few boxes, Ship2Storage often costs 40–60% less than traditional on-campus storage programs.

4. Convenience for Modern Student Life

Ship2Storage fits perfectly with how today’s students live—mobile, independent, and always in motion.

• No appointments: Drop your boxes at any FedEx or UPS location on your own schedule.

• No limits: Moving home, interning across the country, or starting grad school? Ship anywhere in the U.S.

• No hidden fees: Per-box pricing means no surprise “stairs,” “pickup window,” or “labor” charges.

• On-demand returns: Need one box of books back mid-semester? Just log in and click “Ship Back.”

It’s ideal for students studying abroad, working internships, or taking time off between semesters.

5. Real-World Example

Let’s say Mia, a sophomore at Boston University, needs to store 3-4 boxes for summer break—mostly clothes, books, and personal items.

• A traditional campus mover quotes $325 for pickup, storage, and redelivery.

• Ship2Storage costs under $120 total for round-trip shipping and three months of storage.

Mia drops her boxes off at a nearby FedEx location, tracks them online, and has them delivered straight to her off-campus apartment in the fall.
No scheduling. No truck rentals. No stress.

6. Built for Students Who Travel Light

If you’re the type of student who:

• Moves every semester or every summer,

• Owns more hoodies than furniture,

• Studies abroad or interns in another city,

then Ship2Storage was made for you.

Traditional movers make sense if you’re storing large items or full dorm sets. But if your move fits in a few shipping boxes, Ship2Storage gives you maximum flexibility for minimum cost.

7. Why Students Love It

“I had 3 boxes, not 30. Movers were overkill. Ship2Storage let me send them straight from campus—it was cheaper than paying baggage fees.” — Ethan T., NYU student

“I didn’t want strangers in my dorm or to pay for space I didn’t use. Shipping boxes myself was quick, private, and affordable.” — Sophie R., University of Texas

These stories capture the core of Ship2Storage’s appeal: simplicity, privacy, and real savings.

8. The Bottom Line

Campus moving companies are great for full-room storage, but if you’re only storing a few boxes of clothes, books, and your life, you’re overpaying for what you don’t need.

Ship2Storage makes college storage as easy as shipping a care package—no movers, no contracts, no stress.

Whether you’re heading home for the summer, studying abroad, or just clearing space between leases, Ship2Storage is the affordable, flexible, and convenient way to store your life in a few boxes.
