With over 300 locations nationwide, Ship Smart helps alleviate the stress and hassle of college moves, safely transporting students' belongings to their residence halls.
BOSTON, Aug. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Fall is just around the corner, and before you know it, you'll be packing up your belongings to move to college or a university. Whether you're moving into a dorm room or college apartment, Ship Smart is here to help. With over 20 years of experience in small moves, Ship Smart is a small move industry leader with one goal: making sure your small move goes off without a hitch. Ship Smart understands that moving can feel stressful and overwhelming. That's why they have developed a list of college moving tips designed to make your next move simple and easy.
- 1. Plan ahead: College dorm rooms typically offer helpful moving guides that include what to expect on moving day, where to check in, and what items are included in the room. Go over these guidelines with a fine tooth comb so you know exactly where to go and what to do when the big day arrives. This will help temper any potential moving anxiety and will generally help speed the process up.
- 2. Scope out your space: Take a look at the floor plans for your new dorm or apartment. If possible, visit them in person before moving day to get an idea of whether your furniture will fit in the new space.
- 3. Talk to your roommates: Get in touch with your roommates before moving day so you can coordinate moving times and discuss which shareable items you each have. When you're moving into a small dorm room, there's no reason to send a bunch of furniture that your roommate may be taking. So coordinate before moving day or even after you meet and discuss. You can always stage items at your house, call a small mover, and have them sent after move day.
- 4. Buying and assembling moving boxes can be time-consuming. Before you purchase any cardboard, assess your items and see if you can pack anything into laundry baskets or plastic bins that you already own.
- 5. Work with the pros: Not sure if all your items will fit in your car? Not confident in driving a moving truck yourself? You may need to enlist professional help. When you work with Ship Smart, we take care of insurance coverage, small moves, and furniture shipping, so you can focus on what matters most, school.
