Welcome to Murfreesboro! Whether you are a brand-new freshman moving into an MTSU dorm, a family relocating to the Blackman or Siegel neighborhoods, or a long-time resident getting ready for the holiday shipping rush, navigating a growing city can be overwhelming. We created this local resource guide to help our neighbors handle all their shipping, moving, and business needs right here in Rutherford County.
1. Resources for MTSU Students and Parents
Middle Tennessee State University brings thousands of students to our city every year. Moving into a dorm or an off-campus apartment is stressful enough without worrying about how to get your stuff here.
How Do I Ship Boxes to Campus?
Don't try to cram everything into the back of your car. You can ship your boxes, electronics, and even small furniture directly to Murfreesboro. We can receive and hold your packages until you arrive, or help you ship them directly to the campus mailroom.
End-of-Semester Move Out
When May rolls around, don't throw your things away. Bring your items to PostalAnnex. We will professionally pack them and ship them home for you, so you can just hop on your flight out of BNA without dragging heavy bags.
Care Packages
Parents, if you want to send a care package to your student for finals week, we make it easy. We compare rates between USPS, UPS, and FedEx to find the cheapest way to get your homemade cookies delivered safely and on time.
2. New Residents: Getting Settled in Murfreesboro
If you just moved to the area, your to-do list is probably a mile long. We can help you check off several boxes in one quick trip to our store.
- Temporary Mailboxes: If you are staying in a hotel or short-term rental while house hunting, rent a Private Mailbox. You get a secure Murfreesboro street address immediately, so you can start receiving mail and packages without worrying about changing your address twice.
- Notary Services: Need to get your out-of-state auto title transferred or sign new real estate closing documents? We have commissioned notaries on staff to make it official.
- Key Duplication: Just got the keys to your new apartment? We can make spare keys for you on the spot.
3. Beating the Holiday Shipping Rush
Traffic on Old Fort Parkway and Medical Center Parkway gets crazy during the holidays. The lines at the local post office get even crazier.
When Should I Ship Holiday Gifts?
To avoid paying massive express shipping fees, we recommend shipping standard ground packages at least 10 to 14 days before major holidays. Because we are an authorized shipper for all the major carriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL, and USPS), we can instantly tell you which carrier will get your gift there on time for the lowest price.
Can You Pack Fragile Gifts?
Yes! Don't risk wrapping a fragile ornament or a glass frame in newspaper. Bring the item to us, and our certified packing experts will use the 2-inch rule, custom boxes, and proper cushioning to ensure it survives the trip.
4. Supporting Local Murfreesboro Businesses
We are a locally owned franchise, and we love supporting other local businesses. If you run a shop on the Square, a contracting business, or a real estate agency, we offer commercial accounts. This allows your team to drop off packages, print flyers, or get documents notarized and have it all billed to one simple monthly invoice.
