Student Packing and Free carton sizes

At Seven Seas Worldwide, we understand that you will be putting your student life into boxes so you want to feel comfortable with what we supply. We give you cardboard boxes which are chemically hardened so your things will be secure during shipping or storage. The last thing you want is for your expensive books to fall out of the bottom of the boxes!

We also know how hard it is for you to order the exact number of boxes for all your student stuff. We recommend you to order more boxes than you think you need and then return the unused boxes to our driver. As long as the unused boxes are returned in pristine condition, you will not be charged any extra. If the boxes are returned and are soiled or damaged, there will be a charge for each box; please see “Returned Cartons” for more information.

With all your student stuff to pack it can be difficult to stick to weight limits so we have two boxes for you to use.

The Tea-Chest is the larger box we supply; it is 61cm x 51cm x41cm .
You would use this box to pack big, light items such as clothes, shoes, sports equipment and bed linen.

The Book Box is the standard box we supply; it is 51cmx 41cm x 31cm.
You would use this to pack heavier items like books, albums, folders and CD’s.

The weight limits for each box will depend on the service you want so please ensure you check, otherwise our driver will ask you to re-pack and you could incur extra charges for the driver to return to collect.
