Question

Shipping Items to Campus Before Fall Move-In?

Wondering when you can ship items to campus? Explore the schedule below and be sure to ship items to campus no earlier than 5 days prior to your move-in.

The Post Office has limited storage space and items typically arrive on campus within 3-5 days (Amazon ships within 1-2 days). We prefer students to ship large items such as refrigerators, rugs, or mattresses for delivery as close to their move-in date as possible. Shipping packages too early to campus runs the risk of having them “returned to sender.”

When mailing valuable items, we recommend using UPS or FedEx.
