Student Shipping Overseas

"My dad found City Post Express and honestly I thought he was overcomplicating things. I was just going to cram everything into suitcases. So glad he insisted — eight boxes arrived at my dorm before I did and it cost less than extra luggage fees."

"As a mom sending her daughter across the Atlantic for a full year, I needed to know her things were in good hands. Jennifer kept us updated at every stage. One enormous weight off my shoulders during an already emotional time."

"Best decision I made for my study abroad. Full stop."

"Our son was panicking about how to get his things to Ireland two weeks before departure. Robert calmed him down, arranged a quick pickup, and everything was waiting in Galway when he arrived. Absolute lifesaver."

"I compared airline excess baggage costs versus shipping with CPE. Shipping six boxes was literally half the price of checking them as luggage. Plus I did not have to drag them through three airports."

"Second year using them. Shipped my stuff to Dublin last September and they stored my boxes over summer when I came home. Going back this fall and doing the exact same thing."

"I was so worried about Dutch customs holding my stuff. City Post handled all the paperwork and my boxes cleared without any issues. Seven boxes of textbooks and clothes delivered right to my student housing."

"Jennifer suggested we ship a week earlier than planned because of holiday delays. That kind of proactive thinking saved us from a real headache. Our daughter had everything on move-in day."

"Quick and painless. Boxed everything up on a Saturday, they picked up Monday, arrived in Glasgow three weeks later."

"My roommate used a different shipping company and half his boxes arrived damaged. I used City Post and everything was pristine. He is switching to CPE next semester."

"A girl in my program shipped with City Post the year before and told everyone in our group chat to use them. Four of us did. All four had great experiences."

"Robert answered my email at 9pm on a Sunday when I realized I had filled out the customs form wrong. That is customer service you do not find anymore."

"Packing up my dorm room was stressful enough. Having a service that just picked everything up and delivered it overseas made the whole transition manageable. I could actually focus on saying goodbye to friends instead of logistics."

"Used CPE for all four semesters abroad. At this point they probably know my shipping preferences better than I do."

"When your child gets into Oxford, the last thing you want to worry about is shipping logistics. City Post made it one phone call and done. Jennifer even followed up to confirm delivery."

"I packed my guitar in one of the boxes and was nervous the entire time. Arrived in Manchester without a scratch. They clearly know how to handle fragile items."

"The tracking updates were actually useful, not just generic status messages. I knew exactly when my things were on the water and when they cleared customs."

"My older sister used CPE two years ago for her semester in Dublin and practically forced me to use them too. Glad she did — smooth experience start to finish."

"Feeling homesick is hard enough without also not having your stuff. Having my own bedding, books, and photos waiting for me in my flat made Bristol feel like home from day one."

"Flat rate. No hidden fees. No weight surprises. Just tell them how many boxes and they give you a number. That number does not change."

"My anxiety about this whole process was through the roof. Robert talked me through everything on the phone and by the end of the call I felt completely calm. That patience matters."

"Three kids, three study abroad programs, three times using City Post Express. They have earned our family's loyalty. Already planning to use them again for our youngest next year."
