Q: When ordering packages, do I put my residence hall or Shriver as the address?
A: Always use your residence hall address (the street address + the hall name and room number + Oxford, OH 45056). For Amazon packages, if there is an option to add a special instruction, write “Please deliver on campus to 113 Shriver Center (Mail and Package Center).
Q: How do you find your exact dorm address to ship things to it?
A: Check out Miami’s residence halls website and find your hall address!
Q: If you have a package set to deliver during break, what happens to that package?
A: During winter break and term, mail is forwarded to your home address.
Q: Where do you find your mail in the dorms? (Not packages).
A: Each residence hall has a mail room with mailboxes for each room. You should have received an email from the start of the semester with the code to your mailbox.
Q: How to send outgoing mail?
A: The fastest way is to take it to the Shriver Mail and Package Center and/or drop it in a blue collection box!
Q: What happens to packages if they are too big to fit in the mailboxes?
A: Regular mail (in envelopes) will be delivered to your hall. Packages will be delivered to Miami’s Mail and Package Center in Shriver Hall and generally placed in a locker. You’ll be notified to pick up within 24 hours. If it’s too large for the locker, they’ll hold it behind the customer service desk.
Q: Where do I pick up packages?
A: The Mail and Package Center is in 113 Shriver Center! You’ll get an email if you have a package to be picked up!
Q: If I ship something to campus and it’s there before I am, can I pick it up after I move in?
A: Yes! Don’t wait too long to pick it up, but yes, they will hold packages in the mail and package center (in Shriver) sent before move-in!
Q: Can I get stamps and envelopes on campus?
A: Yes! The Mail and Package Center in the lower level of Shriver Center does sell stamps and all kinds of envelopes!
