Skip the Move-In Stress: Introducing mindyKNOWS Ship & Set for NAU Families

Moving your Lumberjack to NAU should be exciting, not exhausting. If you’re an out-of-state family dreading the logistics of getting your student’s essentials to Flagstaff, we have the perfect solution. Introducing mindyKNOWS Ship & Set – a service designed to eliminate move-in day chaos and help your student arrive to a space that’s ready to call home.

What Is Ship & Set?

Ship & Set takes the stress out of college move-in by handling everything for you. Simply ship your student’s essentials directly to our Flagstaff location, and we’ll take care of the rest. We unpack, organize, and store everything in our climate-controlled facility until your student is ready to move in. On move-in day, we deliver everything directly to their dorm or apartment – organized, labeled, and ready to go.

How It Works

The process couldn’t be simpler:

1. Shop and Ship: Order online from your favorite retailers or box up items from home and ship them directly to our Flagstaff address (provided once you book the service).

2. We Unpack and Organize: Our team carefully unpacks everything, sorts items by category, and stores them in labeled totes in our climate-controlled facility.

3. Move-In Day Delivery: We deliver everything directly to your student’s dorm or furnished apartment, so they can focus on settling in rather than hauling boxes.

4. Optional Fresh Start: Add our laundering service to have bedding and towels fresh and ready for day one.

Perfect for Out-of-State Families

If you’ve ever tried to cram a semester’s worth of supplies into luggage or faced the challenge of Flagstaff’s limited retail options during busy move-in weekend, you know the struggle. Ship & Set eliminates these headaches entirely. Arrive relaxed, knowing your student’s space is ready to go – no scrambling, no last-minute shopping runs, no move-in day chaos.

What You Can Ship

Ship & Set is perfect for all the essentials that make a dorm or apartment feel like home:

• Bedding and linens
• Room decor and personal touches
• School supplies and storage solutions
• Personal essentials

We accept items for both traditional dorm rooms and furnished apartment living. Just be sure to check NAU’s official Packing List for guidance on recommended and prohibited items.

What We Don’t Accept

To ensure smooth processing and compliance with NAU policies, we cannot accept:

• Large furniture pieces
• Liquids of any kind
• Soaps, detergents, or cleaning supplies
• Toiletries
• Any items prohibited by NAU

Important Timing

Mark your calendars: we accept shipments from June 1 through August 12, 2025. We recommend shipping items 2-4 weeks before your student’s move-in date to ensure everything arrives and is properly organized in time for delivery.
