OAKLAND,
Calif., April 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Collegeboxes® has now partnered with Northeastern University in Oakland to streamline the campus move-out
process for students and faculty.
More than 350 schools nationwide – and 116 schools in
California – have teamed with
Collegeboxes to assist their students. A special introductory
discount code is currently being offered at Northeastern Oakland to mark the end of spring
classes.
Northeastern Oakland students
who sign up for summer storage services at Collegeboxes.com
can use the code "NE24" through June
1 for 10% off their storage costs. Orders can also be placed
by calling (866) 269-4887.
Collegeboxes, a division of U-Haul®, offers maximum
convenience by picking up students' belongings from their dorm room
at a scheduled time and placing them in a secure local U-Haul
storage – or shipping those belongings to their desired location.
The program offers the peace of mind from dealing with a trusted
national brand while also having local teams in virtually every
U.S. market.
"Collegeboxes broke records in 2023 by helping more students
than any previous year," stated Dain
Howell, Director of Collegeboxes. "This means a record
number of students and families are looking for new and better ways
to approach college move-out day. Our goal is to make college
move-out a stress-free event for both parents and students. They
just need to sign up, pack their things and Collegeboxes does the
rest."
While 350-plus schools currently extend full-service
moving benefits to their students through Collegeboxes, another 990
U.S. schools offer Collegeboxes' direct shipping service.
Full-service schools have access to school-scheduled dates for
Collegeboxes specialists to assist students; pickup times from dorm
rooms; loading and unloading boxes; barcoding boxes for easy
tracking; reporting for students to easily follow their items;
storage at secure local U-Haul facilities; and domestic and
international shipping.
"Students pay by the item and Collegeboxes picks up those items,
places them in storage for the summer, and delivers them back to
students in the fall," Howell said. "We use customer service
texting to keep parents and students informed, and they've let us
know that is appreciated with their repeat business."
Collegeboxes has been moving students and storing items over the
summer since 1999. Student communications go through
Collegeboxes – not the school – so administrations are unburdened.
Collegeboxes assumes all liability for possessions once they are in
the care of the local team.
