Can I ship or receive perishables items?
Flowers, plants, fruit arrangements, baked goods, or similar items should be sent through local vendors or carriers. After the items are logged in, an email will be sent to the student for pick up.

What carriers do you accept?
We accept shipments from all major carriers, including UPS, FedEx Express, FedEx Ground, DHL, and the US Postal Service (USPS). We do not accept freight shipments.
Note that Amazon sometimes delivers with their own mail carriers—please ensure you edit your delivery information to have the times in which the package office is open. Some of these carriers may leave items sitting outside the mailroom when closed and no one is available to accept it and this is not secure.
