If you are the parent of a college bound student you know that back to school is just as important to them as your younger children. Moving into new dorms and buying and shipping care packages to your college age kids can be hectic with all of the shipping costs and what not. Staples had made it much easier to make the moving and packing happen for college students with their wide variety of shipping boxes and packing material. Here are just a few tips to make your life easier and keep your sanity when moving and packing stuff, provided by CollegeMagazine.com
Make a Checklist
Packing for college doesn’t have to be stressful. With the right move-in list, you’ll be living like a king or queen on campus with all your must-have necessities.
Get Your Boxes Early
Move in day has organizational disaster written all over it. Don’t let it sneak up on you. Whether you’re schlepping or shipping your room, box it up. Staples even bundles the boxes for you. Start out with an 8 pack of SmoothMove medium sized boxes. Then pick up a wardrobe box to save you the tedium of transferring your entire closet hanger by hanger. For packing ninjas, the Bankers Box SmoothMove Kraft Moving Box doesn’t even need tape—it’s magic.
Get Label Crazy
Your bathroom supplies box and late-night snack box look identical. You think you’ll remember what went where, but you won’t. Cue the labels. And if you’re shipping your boxes, you can label and ship all at once at Staples.
Students going away to college can also find ways to personalize their space with the latest trends in dorm design and essentials, such as mini fridges, microwaves, décor and storage cubes at Staples.com/backtoschool. Staples Copy & Print Center can personalize products to create on-of-a-king décor with custom photo canvases, photo panels, phone covers and more.
