The best exam care package ideas

Here are some of the most popular items people send in care packages to erasmus students, to make their lives easier while studying abroad:
Books and stationery
Sending books, pens and school supplies in a student care package will no doubt save your student money while away.
Favourite snacks and homemade treats
Some food items are not permitted to be shipped by couriers, but you can still send dried, vacuum sealed and non-perishable food as sustenance for hungry students!
Personal care items and toiletries
Send a favourite shampoo or body lotion, homemade soaps or even a towel with a dedicated inscription are all nice ideas to send in care packages to Erasmus students
Vouchers and gift certificates
Sending coupons for local restaurants, cinemas or stores will be a great help to a student on a tight budget!
Household items
Did your student forget to pack something important, like a cherished family photo? Perhaps they need something for their dorm room like a favourite throw rug? Big or small, you can send these along with your student care package.

How to avoid common address issues with parcel delivery to students abroad

Missing room/ building number
University and college campuses have many buildings, therefore providing the right building, floor and room number is crucial when addressing your student care package
Entrance to the campus
University campuses have multiple entries, so providing the right one and ensuring the courier has sufficient access is important to ensure delivery can take place
Language barrier
Local couriers will usually speak the local language where they are delivering to, so it is important that the sender or receiver who will be communicating with the courier can speak the local language. If not, consider finding someone who can, to avoid confusion when communicating with couriers.
Phone number
Couriers will only contact a local telephone number if they decide to call you regarding delivery, so if you are sending from another country, please provide a correct local contact number.

What is not allowed to send in an exam care package to a student by courier?

Before booking parcel delivery to students abroad, you should first check what is permitted on campus, just in case certain items are not allowed. Likewise, when shipping exam care packages to students abroad, you should just the customs restrictions of the particular country you are sending to.
