Do I have to get a box kit?
You are not required to purchase a box kit. You may use your own boxes, but keep in mind shipping boxes are of greater strength than normal moving boxes!
Please keep in mind that you DO NOT have to ship all the boxes in the box kit. They may be saved and reused.
Go to the 'Place an Order' tab along the left sidebar and please select the 'Ship My Own Boxes' option.
Is it really only $69.95 or 75.95 for the shipping and the box kit?
NO. The $69.95 or 75.95 is the price of the box kit ONLY, depending on which set of boxes you choose.
You will be invoiced at UPS rates for the shipping of EACH box and pay through a link to the invoice at Quickbooks.
You will be invoiced ONCE for the box kit and a SECOND time for the shipping of the boxes.

Great job! Log on to the Home2Home website and verify your school address.
Now, click the tab along the left sidebar to 'Request Labels and/or Home Pick Up' to notify The UPS Store at CU.
