College students hate packing for the trip to school. They know the nightmares of bungee cords, blocked rear-view mirrors and broken air-conditioning. Back-to-School means the transformation of the family car into the college delivery truck. Problem is, there's usually no room left for the people!
 
Let bedbathandbeyond.com alleviate your packing headache with our Pack & Hold feature. Shop online, order all your college essentials and let us pack it, hold it, and ship it to your school on the ship date that you select at checkout. It's that easy! We have solved the problem of where to put all that 'stuff' in the car.
 
To take advantage of Pack & Hold we need to know two critical pieces of information:
 
1. The dorm room address. Be aware that a number of schools use their gymnasium or other large facility to 'stage' all pre-semester shipments, so you may want to call the school and confirm where packages should be sent and where they should be picked up.
   
2.

The ship date. Schools usually open a ‘window’ of delivery dates for pre-semester shipments to be received. You should check with your college to determine these dates.
   

Keep in mind that you are selecting the date when your order will ship, not the date that it will be received by your school, therefore you should factor in 3 to 8 days for our Standard ship method within the contiguous United States, and 5-10 days for shipments to Alaska or Hawaii (Expedited and Express ship methods are currently not available for Pack & Hold orders). Due to the variability in shipping time, we cannot GUARANTEE exact delivery dates.

Once a Pack & Hold order is submitted, we are unable to make any product or delivery date changes.

For information regarding shipments to US Territories, APO/FPO addresses or international shipments/billing please call 1-800-GO BEYOND® (1-800-462-3966).

The cost for shipping is based upon your total order amount. Use the table below as a quick reference for calculating your shipping charge. (For shipments to Alaska and Hawaii see * below.)
