For students
Add snacks, toiletries, and the care-package item you keep forgetting. One line each. Your parents see the same list. Anyone else sees it only if your household sends them an unlisted link.
More about the list
For parents
One shared list instead of scattered texts. Buy on Amazon, Target, or Walmart from each line, then ship a box or bring it on a visit and mark it Sent. Set a care-package budget — a planning number, not a bank connection and not a charge. Print a free address sheet whenever you ship.
Three stores
Amazon, Target, and Walmart from the item. A saved product opens that page. Otherwise the store's own search opens. Your cart and the total stay on the store. No prices in Pack to Dorm.
Free printable address sheet
Free forever after you sign in: print a ship-to address sheet from box size and weight, then buy postage on your own USPS, Pirate Ship, or stamps account. Prepaid USPS labels are not for public sale yet. Launch shipping, when it exists, is true postage with a $0 platform fee.
One household
A parent signs up, invites the student, and sets a ship-to address. Each household has its own login and, if you want one, its own PIN. There is no shared password on this page.
Move-in packing
On the list, turn on Move-In for box numbers, packed flags, an open-first filter, printable box slips, and a moving-day master sheet. Optional move-in date on Profile shows a countdown and next steps.
Care-package rhythm
After you mark something Sent, the list suggests a gentle cadence for the next care package. Download a calendar reminder if you want one — no marketing email blast.
A family list, not a public storefront
A parent signs up with email and password, then invites the student. A household can also set its own PIN. The list stays private to that household. Sharing is optional: send an unlisted link, and the person who has it can open the list, copy an item, or claim a gift (discreet by default). It is not a storefront anyone can browse, and it is not an open registry.
Start free. Invite the student when you are ready.
