Shipping to a College Dorm? Here’s How!

Back-to-school time is right around the corner, and if there is anything we can count on from our kids, it’s that they will inevitably forget something they need or leave something behind. If you are a resident of Abilene, TX though, fear not! The packing and shipping experts at Pack & Mail are here to tell you how to ship those forgotten goods and be the back-to-school superhero you are! 

Now for some good news, all college dorms have standard street addresses, just like any other residence! Though you can’t always spot them on the building, they do exist. When completing your shipping label, you’ll just need to add some additional information to the secondary address line. Here’s an example: 

John Doe 

1234 University Dr. 

Prestigious University Name, Freshman Hall, #101 

Spokane, WA 99201 

You’ll notice that the secondary address line that usually holds an apartment or suite number instead includes three pieces of crucial information: the name of the college or university, the recipient’s dormitory hall name, and their individual room number. This tells the shipping carrier exactly where to take your loved one’s goodies.  

If you’re having trouble getting the address formatted correctly or aren’t sure which shipping carrier would work best for your needs, stop by Pack & Mail today. Our team of friendly, knowledgeable, and professionally trained shipping experts can help.
