Delivery Procedures

• We attempt to deliver prior to student move-in. If equipment is not in the room upon move-in, allow 7-10 business days after student move-in concludes.
  • Tulane Students:
    • We collaborate with University staff to attempt to pre-load each cooler inside the appropriate dorm room before move-in day. However, there may be various challenges we need to navigate, and we cannot guarantee that every single account will be pre-loaded. If the cooler is not in your dorm upon arrival, unfortunately, we are very sorry but encountered some issues and were unable to pre-load it. Please take a look at our schedule to find out when and where you can pick up your cooler from our tent or truck.

• Incomplete housing information will delay the delivery of your equipment.
• Equipment is delivered into the room you provide on your ordering form. If your room changes, you are responsible for updating our office. Housing will not update our records.
