<p>Hi,</p>
<p>I was thinking of ordering a macbook for myself (finally gathered some money to get one). I was wondering how reliable mail services is with a item so expensive. And they have to sign if its signature required right? Or do i have to go there to get it, etc?
Also, my dad is paying with his CC so it will be in his name, but I am going to pay him when I get back later. That won't affect me getting it right? They won't care about the name or anything right?</p>
<p>If you want to use Rutgers mail service, you have to use the name that is on your Rutgers student card. Otherwise, the item will be put on hold.</p>
<p>Rutgers mail service is very reliable, but if I were you, I would personally prefer to have your Macbook be delivered to your house. When it arrives, your dad can bring it to you on campus. Using Rutgers mail service takes about 2 extra days to process your item after it actually arrives at Rutgers.</p>
<p>I see. I’ll see if its possible. The thing is that my dads on a business trip so I don’t know if he can deliver it (unless I can wait 3-4 weeks, but I’d rather get it sooner than that haha) and my mom is out of country to visit family as well 
Otherwise, I won’t even hesitate to deliver it home. I don’t mind waiting a couple extra days. And why do they put a item on hold if its not your name on it (like can I explain that my dad paid for it and its his name, etc).</p>
<p>Yeah…they do that, and I had to learn the hard way. I tried to use my nickname as well, but my item was put on hold. After 5 days of waiting, I spoke to one of the mailmen at the counter, and he said I was supposed to use my real name that matches my RUID. I guess it’s for security reasons.</p>
