Student Housing Mail & Package Management for University of Rhode Island
Off-campus apartment mailroom and Luxer One® lockers serving 17,000 Rams in Kingston, RI.
The University of Rhode Island student-housing mail problem
With 17,000 students enrolled, off-campus apartment communities serving the Rams absorb a daily flow of Amazon, meal-kit, textbook rental, and gameday merchandise deliveries that traditional leasing offices were never built to handle. Add the August move-in spike, parents shipping bedding and electronics ahead of arrival, and a campus that empties twice a year, and the result is package-room chaos that drives 1-star reviews and renewal losses.

We offer package room and mail management outsourcing, and Luxer One® package locker systems for off-campus communities serving universities like University of Rhode Island — 120,000+ residents served and 1,200+ Luxer One installs across 50+ U.S. markets.

Off-campus leasing teams typically burn 16–30 hours a week — roughly $15K–$30K a year — on parcel sorting, notifications, and chasing carriers. Outsourced package room management hands those hours back for tours, renewals, and resident retention — a smarter use of existing payroll, not a new expense.
* Based on a ~250-unit community, counting everyone who touches a package during the day across all days of the week. Student housing typically runs higher — parcel volume per bed is well above conventional multifamily, and move-in weeks concentrate it.
