*We are unable to forward mail and/or packages once you have moved off of campus. Please update your mailing address with each vendor as well as with USPS here: https://www.usps.com/manage/forward.htm
**********************************************************************************
Please refrain from purchasing liquid materials such as detergents. If it leaks, it can contaminate other packages.
Groceries and Perishable Items - Blue Apron, HelloFresh, DoorDash, Safeway, etc. Grocery deliveries are tricky. We recommend:
- Scheduling deliveries during hours of operation. We are not staffed in the evenings or on weekends, and boxes delivered outside of business hours run the risk of being stolen, perishing, or being disposed of.
- Picking up food deliveries as soon as possible. The Mailroom has no refrigeration, no air conditioning, and is often warm and stuffy. Grocery deliveries left in the Mailroom for prolonged periods of time may expire, attracting ants and rodents. John R. Lewis College is not responsible for the condition of food/grocery deliveries. Grocery/food deliveries not picked up within 3 days may be disposed for staff health and safety.
Due to the expected increase of packages, the staff cannot search for individual packages. We strongly urge you to wait until you receive an email from the mailroom that your package has been delivered, logged in and ready for pick up. Notices from vendors that your package has arrived does not mean your package has been delivered to campus.
Please refrain from using nicknames/aliases as that can cause a delay in receiving your package or it may be returned to sender. If possible, please use your middle name or initial as we may have students with the same first and last name.
