PHOENIX and CALGARY, AB, March 1,
2023 /CNW/ -- Collegeboxes®, a division of
U-Haul®, is bringing its stress-free shipping and storage solutions
to Canada after 24 years of
serving students in the U.S.
When students move out of their dorms and apartments in the
spring, and return to school in the fall, transporting or storing
belongings can be challenging and costly.
Collegeboxes eliminates the hassle. Students signing up for
services enjoy an easy, expedited transition to and from school
each term while knowing their possessions are secure.
Here's how it works: 1. Select your school and create an account
at collegeboxes.com. 2. Receive and pack your boxes; unboxed
items can also be stored. 3. Collegeboxes picks up your items and
stores them until next term or ships boxes, luggage and bags
anywhere in the world.
Collegeboxes has started by providing 10 universities across
Alberta and British Columbia with full services. In
celebration of expanding to Canada, students signing up at these 10
schools before March 15 receive 15%
off summer storage using the promotion code: CANADA15.
"We prefer to work directly with housing departments at colleges
and universities to create unique programs for their campuses,"
stated Dain Howell, Director of
Collegeboxes. "Every school has different needs, but one thing they
have in common is a desire to make the move-in and move-out process
easy and efficient. We make this possible."
The ability to pay by the item stored, rather than renting an
entire self-storage unit, provides cost savings.

"Our Ship to School service has revolutionized the way students
move to school," Howell said. "Instead of paying big luggage fees
when moving by plane, students ship items with us, we store them
locally at a secure U-Haul facility and deliver them when they
arrive on campus."
