Bloomington Ship-To-School

Indiana University mailrooms do not accept packages during the summer. To help new students with this restriction, freshmen living in residence halls receive a 50% discount per package!

Using our Ship-To-School service, students can send items over the summer to our Bloomington storage warehouse. If you have stuff already in storage, we'll group everything together. Otherwise, we'll start a new order for you.

Don't wait until you get to Bloomington to start your back-to-school shopping. Avoid the crowds and lines during welcome week! Starting in May, you can buy items online, send them to our warehouse, and we will store them until August. Then, you can reserve a 2 hour arrival window during August move-in and we'll deliver them to your new campus address!

Please note that Guys and Dollies does not assemble new items that are shipped to us.
