Why Students Should Choose UNPACKED This Year
Every year, thousands of students arrive at their new accommodation having done the same thing. They created a long list of ‘essentials’ and split the shopping across an entire weekend, often trailing around various places trying to find a specific pot or pan they want. There’s no denying the system works, but it’s time-consuming and can dampen the excitement of moving to university. This is where UNPACKED come in.
The team at UNPACKED are here to sort all your uni essentials in one clean package. It’s sure to help you stay calm on move-in day, the most stressful time of the year for freshers.
The Case for Convenience
Shopping on the high street can be fun, for all of 20 minutes. When you need to get dozens of items that you’re unlikely to find in one shop, it’s easy to lose interest and forget something. You also need to consider how you’ll get everything to your new Homes for Students room.
UNPACKED consolidate the whole process. All items can be added to your package, whether that’s a towel, pillows, cleaning products, or extra bedding. Even better, everything will arrive in one sleek delivery. One order equals one delivery and one box to unpack when you arrive.
This completely overhauls the move-in day experience. Students who have an UNPACKED box waiting for them spend the first evening enjoying freshers week, while others can spend the night worrying whether they bought all they need.
The Value Option
Like buying anything these days, the cost of doing so separately or via a range of online retailers can add up quickly. Paying for numerous deliveries and ensuring they arrive on a certain day can be expensive.
UNPACKED are up front and clear with their prices. The Student Kitchen Pack is priced at £139 and contains all you need to cook up a storm, all within one box. This covers an 18-piece dining set, induction-compatible pans and the all-important utensils you’ll use every day. All of the items will last throughout your university journey, provided you’re a student who cares for their property. As a bonus, UNPACKED offers free standard postage on all orders over £100.
It’s easy to see why so many students have chosen this option over the years, and why you should consider it this time around.
How Will My Pack Be Delivered?
You can select your delivery date at checkout, with all your items arriving in one package. UNPACKED guarantees delivery on the day you choose, whether that is to your student accommodation address or to your home before moving away.
Your delivery will be tracked every step of the way, and customer support is available from 8 am to 8 pm every day, ensuring any issues are dealt with swiftly by real people.
If you’re arriving from overseas, this is vital. You can sort your packing on this end and focus on getting yourself to the UK.
What’s the Quality Like?
UNPACKED believe in great quality affordable homeware, and the range certainly reflects that. The kitchen items are dishwasher-safe and built to last. The bedding is soft. The pans are induction-ready, meaning they’re suitable for almost all student homes. Each pack has been developed over the years to provide students with a comprehensive box of essentials, instead of a box of things they’ll never use.
Since 2013, UNPACKED have given students exactly what they need. The team knows what’s important, and has strived to help you make your room feel like home.
The Bottom Line
Buying everything yourself is not wrong. Students do it every year. But for the time, the effort and the move-in day experience it costs, it is hard to argue that it is the better option when UNPACKED exist.
We have partnered with UNPACKED because we have seen the difference it makes for students arriving at our properties.
