Package Tracking Tips for a Smooth Move-in

Though the busiest part of move-in season is behind us, there are still packages piling up. Students are exchanging books for different editions, or ordering ones that they thought they didn’t need. They’re ordering new clothes and decorations for their dorms. You name it, they’re buying it online and having it shipped to your mailroom. To ensure that your staff is equipped with the right tools for the onslaught of packages, here are 2 important steps that will make your students happy and your staff’s lives easier:

• Notifications: Did you know that EZTrackIt’s package tracking software can notify each student the way they prefer? Each student can choose whether they want to be contacted by e-mail, text message or even Facebook. This means that when they have a package waiting to be picked up, you can send a message directly to them via their preferred notification method.
• Pick-up Plans: Did you remember to set up a pick-up plan with your mail room staff? Our package logging system allows you to notify a package recipient when they have a package waiting immediately, or you can log all of your packages in and send out the notifications at a specific time. For example, if all of your packages for the day were logged in by noon, you could send out a notification for recipients to pick up their packages between 2 and 4pm, or they can come by the next day for package pick up between 9 and 11am.
