<p>If my daughter is buying or renting a text online can she chose now to have it shipped to her GW dorm? Will they hold things there that arrive early? It seems that shipping times are unpredictable so I don't really want to ship books here and they end up arriving after she leaves and then I have to ship them again to GW.</p>
<p>I contacted the GW mailing center, and they told me they started accepting shipments on August 1. Just make sure you label them correctly, with the student name, dorm name and room number. We’ve already ordered and shipped most of my son’s books.</p>
<p>Great, thanks! I looked at the GW website about mailing,etc and it told where to pick up packages, etc but it said they only hold them 7 days after emailing the student that they have arrived. It sounds like they make an exception at this time of year. If we happen to get an email that stuff has arrived and it will be more than 7 days until we get there, I will give them a call. I’d rather do that than have to mail again from home.</p>
<p>yea they def hold on to it more than 7 days…i know from experience from my last 2 years</p>
<p>Yes, they do hang on to them this time of year. I verified that when I contacted the mailing center.</p>
