Ready to ship smart and stay green at Penn? 🌿📦

Our Sustainable Tips to series continues!
This week, we’re focusing on eco-friendly shipping practices. Here’s how you can make a difference:

SHIP NON-ESSENTIALS ✅
Pack and ship only things you won’t need upon arrival immediately. Clothes, bedding, and personal items are great to have on you when you arrive, and non-essentials like decorations, entertainment items, and winter clothing are great to ship and have for later!

WAIT ON BIG ITEMS ⏳
Hold off on shipping furniture or large decorations. This reduces waste and gives you time to coordinate with roommates. 🛋️🤝

OPTIMIZE DELIVERY 🚚
Use Amazon@Penn or PersonalShip for efficient, campus-friendly delivery options. They help reduce lost packages and support sustainability efforts! 📬

QUICK COLLECT 🏃‍♀️
Remember to pick up your packages promptly! This maximizes mailroom efficiency and saves energy. ⚡

Small choices add up to big impacts. Let’s make Penn greener together! ❤️💙💚
