What is the typical turnaround time once a package reaches the campus?
Your package is usually available on the same day. In some instances, it may take up to 24 hours.
Why did I get a notification that my package was delivered, but it wasn’t there when I went to the mail room?
Third-party vendors like Amazon typically send notifications directly to customers when they have made the final delivery. Therefore, it is sometimes in our building but hasn’t yet been processed. We will send you an email when it is ready for you to pick up.

– Ensure that the stamp’s value corresponds to the weight and size of your envelope and the destination of your mail.
