From-Home-To-Room Services at Drexel University

Excluded from the “Save $20” Promotion.
Each package you ship incurs a fee of $55 to USS. Please note that this fee does not include any shipping costs, so we recommend verifying rates with your selected shipping carrier. You have the option to register for as few as 1 package or as many as 10 packages. After our deadline date of September 3rd, 2025, we will confirm the total number of packages you have sent and adjust the charges accordingly on your account.
Each package must have two labels: your own shipping label (FedEx or UPS) and a customer identification label provided by USS. Boxes lacking both labels risk rejection and return to sender. You can take a peek at what the customer identification label looks like here.
