Students given a boost by new, low-cost baggage courier service

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 15, 2010 -- Cash-strapped students have been given a boost through a discounted courier booking service to help them travel to and from university.

New business Unibaggage.com allows students to send their items by courier at a discounted price, rather than pay excessive baggage charges. The service also reduces the stress of getting their worldly goods to and from home between terms.

Unibaggage.com lets students send their bag or parcel up to a massive 30kg anywhere in the UK for the lowest rates guaranteed, with a full 24 hour door to door service starting from only £12.

Paul Stewart, founder of Unibaggage.com says:

“It’s no secret that university students in the UK have a lot of costs to contend with nowadays. Travelling to and from home involves extra costs that students could do without. As students will be well aware, especially those living in halls of residence, you often need to clear all your belongings from your room during the holiday periods, which makes travelling expensive as well as a hassle.”

“Sending your belongings by courier can save money and will avoid a lot of stress. The added benefit is that parents will not need to drive all the way to campus and back with a car load of their son’s or daughter’s belongings, which can accumulate during term.”
“Students already have discounts available to them on food, drink and in some high street shops. We felt they should also be able to save on travel expenses.”

UniBaggage.com has negotiated a rock bottom price with Parcel Force to enable students to send their stuff home each term at a discounted rate. All items are insured and can be tracked online.
There are no hidden extras, no credit card fees, no VAT, no fuel surcharge.

Parents

With students’ parents having no choice but to supplement their child’s costs during university the arrival of Unibaggage.com provides some respite for the ever decreasing bank balance of mum and dad.

Paul Stewart says: “Not only are students graduating with debts of tens of thousands of pounds, the high costs mean that parents are having to pick up part of the expense as well.”

“Savings here and there on expenses such as travel might not single-handedly tackle the debt problems students face, but it will help ease what is often an unplanned additional cost.”

In what are difficult economic times for the UK, Unibaggage.com is providing a money-saving service for a section of our society which needs to make all the savings it can.

Recent research has shown that students, on average, are leaving university with debts totalling more than £20,000. With greater competition for part-time work from the rise in unemployment, students have less opportunity to earn income during study.

Paul Stewart adds: “It must not be forgotten that students are the business leaders, politicians and professionals of tomorrow. They need a helping hand at this point in their lives, and in one way Unibaggage.com has been set up with that principle in mind.”
