Yes, you can cancel your pickup request at any time by emailing customersupport@shipschools.com. In your email, please include the name on your order along with the pickup date and location.
Yes. If for any reason you need to cancel an order, please submit your cancellation request online via email to customersupport@shipschools.com. You will obtain a full refund if you cancel a shipment at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled pickup or drop-off date. Any cancellations within 48 hours will incur a $10 late cancellation fee per order.
Yes. To request a new pickup date or location for your order, please send us an email to customersupport@shipschools.com. Please include the name on the order, your original pickup date and/or location, and the new requested pickup date and/or location. A new shipping label(s) will be emailed to you once the modification is completed.
Yes. We understand the value of your items and include $250 of complimentary insurance for all domestic and international luggage shipments with the option to insure up to $4,000 for a nominal cost.
We recommend selecting an amount that best matches the total estimated value of the item you are shipping. This would include the total value of the items inside your box, trunk, luggage, or sporting equipment and the cost of the suitcase, duffel bag, hard case, or soft travel bag you use to ship.
Shipment insurance protects against complete loss of your shipped item or against any physical damage that has occurred to the shipment while in transit. For items not shipped in a box, the outside casing is considered the shipping container and will not be insured.
No. You can send your shipment in a roller suitcase, duffel bag, hard case, soft travel bag, or box. For instructions on how to properly attach the shipping label to your shipment, please visit our support center.
Yes. We offer different sizes for each product type. For example, our luggage options include carry-on luggage (25 lbs), checked luggage (50 lbs), and oversized luggage (75 lbs). If your shipment is sent and weighs more than the maximum weight for your item type, your bag may be delayed in transit and you may be charged an overage fee.
If your property is participating in the 2023 pilot program, you can collect a box from your leasing office. Otherwise, you can purchase a shipping box at your local carrier store or a shipping supplies store near you.
Luggage needs to be packed in a roller suitcase, duffel bag or box. Make sure the shipping container is completely sealed and all zippers, buckles, and latches are tight and secure. You will have to affix the shipping label to the outside of the luggage as securely as possible with clear packaging tape if using a box or plastic roller suitcase. If using a fabric or soft-sided roller suitcase or duffel bag, we strongly advise getting a fly tag. It is also recommended to print a second copy of your shipping label and include it in an outside pocket (assuming you are shipping with a soft case that has one).
For additional information on how to prepare your luggage, please visit our support center.
Yes. Bags and cases that are being shipped to school internationally may not be locked for customs reasons. For more information regarding specific packing instructions for shipping internationally, please visit our support center.
