Mail Questions

<p>Wake's website says the following about Mail Delivery: "UPS and Federal Express are not delivered by the Post Office. These must be addressed to the residence hall room or street address of the student." However, the UPS Store flyer received in orientation material says this: "Your student's mailbox is a Private Mail Box (PMB), and unlike a PO Box, we can receive packages from all carriers (UPS, FEDEX, etc). I'm confused; are there 2 different boxes--one for Postal Service mail and one for packages from other carriers (that you rent from the campus UPS Store?)</p>

<p>Also, is mail forwarded to the student's home over the summer and during Christmas, like if you had a magazine subscription that you wanted to keep and didn't want to lose issues?</p>

<p>The way it works, now, since the conversion to the UPS Store, is that you receive EVERYTHING via the UPS Store (formerly Post Office). FedEx, USPS, UPS, DHL, etc. all goes to the "box." Before everything but USPS used to be hand delivered by the company to your residence hall. Now we have to pick it up from the "post office"/UPS Store.</p>

<p>No forwarding service that I'm aware of for the breaks. Might be able to do a temporary one through the USPS.</p>

<p>Over summer, you're definitely able to forward your mail. However, the UPS store policy is that they wont forward magazines or fliers. They will only forward letters (and, I assume, packages). Over Christmas, there is no forwarding of mail.</p>

<p>I'm pretty confused now. If you go onto WIN, your personal profile gives a PO Box Number. Is that actually a PO Box or is it a Campus Box? In the last mailing they specifically said they weren't PO Boxes. Am I safe to assume the number given there is my box number?</p>

<p>I guess it's technically a campus box, but the way it worked last year was that you could address everything (packages, letters, etc) to</p>

<p>PO Box X, Reynolda Station
Winston-Salem, NC 27109</p>

<p>I never ordered packages through FedEx, etc., but they should all be delivered to this box number too (even though these FedEx would normally need a street addess instead of a PO Box). Does that make sense?</p>

<p>Yeah that does. Thanks!</p>
