<p>I am from FL and I had all my things shipped up this year.</p>
<p>Everything that I bought just for Cornell, along with the other things I felt I needed I packed in boxes. Then me and my mom drove to the nearest FedEx a few days before my flight up to Cornell and had them ship the packages to the FedEx in downtown Ithaca and hold it there till pickup (that’s an option you can choose when shipping). </p>
<p>When we got up to Ithaca we rented a car and picked up all the boxes from the FedEx and moved in.</p>
<p>ALSO, BIG TIME SAVER ALERT!</p>
<p>Bed Bath and Beyond every year has something called Pack N’ Ship (I think it’s called that). Basically you go to your local BBB and you sign up for the FREE service. They give you a list of things that your school recommends to buy and outlaws in the room, then hand you a gift registry machine (the scanning machine you use for your wedding and baby shower registries) and you go around and scan all of the things you want them to have waiting for you in the BBB in Ithaca. They will either get the items out of storage in Ithaca and keep it separate and tagged for you, or if they don’t have it in stock in the Ithaca store, they will ship it up free of charge for you. Then, when you get into Ithaca, you can pick up your entire shipment, and pay for it all up there. You can even say you don’t want some of the items they shipped up and you aren’t forced to buy it.</p>
<p>GREAT SERVICE</p>
