Making college pickups a Priority

Browse Stories

How many of us have watched with some amusement as parents pick up their child from college, only to struggle to fit all their additional belongings into their vehicle?

The car is stuffed, and on the curb sits more books, musical instruments, sports equipment, artwork and clothing that will be jockeying for position in the car with the student’s siblings.

The Postal Service™ is the ideal solution for parents and college students who want to lessen their loads.

The Priority Mail Regional Rate® Box-C is a quick, easy and convenient way for you to ship Priority Mail packages. It’s a top-loading box for items that weigh 25 pounds or less. Whether students are a business, finance, or marketing major, they would no doubt agree using the Postal Service’s Priority Mail® Service offers a perfect alternative for the family.

If you or someone you know is venturing off to pick up their child, why not include a few Priority Mail® boxes with you when you make the trip? It beats leaving something — or someone — behind while ensuring you’re not the campus entertainment.
