Shipping Address

As a friendly reminder, please use your full correct delivery address when receiving packages on campus. Include full name, building, and department, and use “1301 College Ave” as the street address. To help ensure timely and correct deliveries, this information must be on the shipping label.

Amazon Couriers

Amazon recently started delivering packages via their own couriers, as opposed to UPS or the U.S. Postal Service. The new couriers will be delivering faculty and staff packages directly to the departments. The Amazon couriers will be in uniforms of white polo with an Amazon logo, hat and vest so they may be readily identified.
