❓ FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does College Shipping work?
You reserve your spot and we mail you a kit of 5 sturdy boxes with prepaid shipping labels. Pack them up at home, drop them off with the carrier using the prepaid label, and they come to our San Diego warehouse. We store everything safely, then deliver it to your dorm room on move-in day.
How much does it cost?
It's $49 to reserve — that covers your spot and your box kit. After we receive your boxes, it's $50 per box plus shipping through a major carrier, and you only pay for the boxes you actually send. Move-in delivery to your dorm is included.
When should I start shipping?
You can ship to College Cubbies starting in early July. We store your items in our warehouse and deliver them to your dorm on your move-in day.
What if my stuff arrives before I do?
That's exactly the idea. We receive and store everything safely until move-in, then deliver it to your dorm on or before your move-in day — you don't need to be there when it arrives.
What can I ship?
You can ship your belongings in College Cubbies boxes, which you order through our website. For anything that won't fit or other shipping questions, just email us at collegecubbies@getacubby.com.
Can I ship online orders directly to you?
Yes — order from anywhere and ship it straight to our warehouse, same $50 per package. To set it up, just email us at collegecubbies@getacubby.com.
Can I ship my stuff home at the end of the year?
Yes. We'll pick up from your door, bring everything to our warehouse, and ship it to your home.
