A common student headache, and the honest ways around it.
It catches a lot of students out: you want to send your books and belongings ahead to your overseas university, but the halls of residence won’t accept deliveries until your official move-in date. Here are the ways around it.
Many universities and private halls do accept shipments a few days before move-in, or hold them at a post room — but some don’t. A quick email to the accommodation office asking their earliest delivery date tells you exactly what you’re working with.
Tell us your university, your move-in date and where you’re shipping from in the UK, and we’ll plan the timing so your belongings don’t arrive to a locked door.
