Typically, our arrival windows are 2-hours and are available throughout the day at most locations. The first appointments of the day normally begin at 10:00am-12:00pm, and the last arrival windows end as late as 8:00pm-10:00pm. Arrival window availability varies depending on location and date.

Customers living off-campus are also welcome to meet the truck in your car during the dorm delivery times if you do not want to wait for a custom supply delivery.

3. Pack your boxes and label your items

After the movers deliver your supplies, you will be able to start packing. To make moving go smoothly, we will accept almost any item into our West Lafayette storage facility. Give the movers things like full plastic bins and suitcases to reduce packing time. Please make sure to have everything packed prior to the beginning of your arrival window. You name must be listed on all items, but removable labels and tags (with strings) are included in your free supply kit. Due to very tight schedules, movers typically need to move on to the next appointment and cannot wait for extra items to be packed. Extra information can be found on the packing tips page.

That’s all you have to do before you leave campus!

Movers may show up at any point in your reserved arrival window, not necessarily the beginning. If you can't be at the arrival window, you will need to provide contact information for someone else than can be present (like a neighbor or roommate. Payment is not needed until over the summer, and customers will be given both paper and electronic invoices prior to payment.
