New this year! Residential Life is no longer going to provide mail keys to all Residential Students. As students have started to receive less paper mail and more packages students have had less of a need for a mail key to their mail box. Students have overwhelmingly informed Residential Life office they don’t want or need their mail key.  Request a mailbox key here: Service Desk | Residential Life (uconn.edu)

 

Picking up at package at University Mail Services ?

Storrs campus University Mail Services (UMS) is located at the Central Warehouse (large building behind the University Fire & Police). Approach the building from the side where the loading docks are located. Proceed through the glass doors that are to the left of the loading docks and straight through to UMS.

Their hours are Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm. Closed weekends and holidays.

 

Companies are promising same day or next day delivery of items ordered on their websites when residents choose next day or “home delivery” options.  This form of delivery will lead the company’s delivery personnel to drop your package somewhere on campus at the front door of a building. These packages are not being delivered through a legitimate mail carrier such as FEDEX, USPS, DHL or UPS and it is very likely it will lead to your parcel being lost.  Make sure that you receive a tracking # from one of the following carriers FEDEX, USPS, DHL or UPS when placing an order.

If the University should close due to weather related concerns, the residential mailrooms are closed as well.

University Mail Services (UMS) has been working diligently to process the unprecedented amount of packages that continue to arrive daily to the University. Students will receive an email from their mailroom when a package is available for pick up. Students should expect mild delays in the delivery of their packages for the next couple of weeks.

Location of mailrooms and hours of operation are available on this website.
