Shipping a Package Ahead

Parent Cafe
1

<p>I tried looking online, but I couldn’t really find any information, so I thought the parents might now.</p>

<p>I am graduating in about a week, and I am moving about 250 miles away from my school. I am moving to New York. I do not yet have an apartment, but I am going up to New York after graduation to view the possible choices that I found, and I will take one of them.</p>

<p>The only problem is my stuff. My parents are helping me with some, but our car is too small, and bringing them home and shipping them after I get an apartment is not really an option for reasons I won’t go into here.</p>

<p>My question is, can I ship stuff ahead to New York? Is there a shipping service through which I can get a P.O. box online? I looked at USPS, but they say to apply at a local post office. Plus, their shortest rent term is 6 months, which is too long and too expensive. I am looking to spend no more than $20, since cost is already through the roof on shipping.</p>

<p>I would appreciate any help!</p>

<p>Check out the UPS Store or ParcelsPlus. They may provide this service.</p>

<p>I did try to check UPS, FedEx out, but I can’t find any concrete information. I am wondering if maybe someone has done it before.</p>

<p>Try this link to the UPS mailbox services.

<p>Thanks! I actually found that exact same page, but there is no info on how to apply for it online/over the phone, and I can’t come up to New York before I need to ship the packages.</p>

<p>Go to the locations link on that page, put in NY, NY for city and state; you will get a list of locations of specific stores which include phone numbers, click on the store number link and you will get a link to specific store e-mail contact.
I’m reasonably sure you can set up the address/account with a credit card. Just make the contact.</p>

<p>Best of luck.</p>
