<p>can we request for mail to be sent to our P.O. Boxes if we haven't moved in yet?</p>
<p>i do not believe they will accept mail until you actually open your box (get your key, etc)</p>
<p>It’s been a few years, but I had a few pieces of mail in my box waiting for me when I picked up my key. I had actually gotten a free magazine subscription in late july and they told me 6-8 weeks, so I went ahead and put my new, on campus address. I guess my order processed quickly or something, but they didn’t say anything about it when I picked up my key. So I’m not sure if that’s the exception rather than the rule, but that’s my experience.</p>
<p>If you want to know for sure, you could call the student post office at 850-644-2794, though you’ll have to wait until Monday at this point.</p>
<p>i sent something to my son before it was “opened” and it was returned.</p>
<p>OK, then how the heck am I going to get my parking sticker.
Tomorrow I was going to ask parking services to mail it to my po box.</p>
<p>You can get a box with a numbered and street address and not a P.O. address. Some companies refuse to mail important correspondence to a P.O.Box. Too much fraud. Try Mailbox, etc and the like.</p>
<p>Thanks… I contacted the people and told them to hold for a week.</p>
<p>Batllo I was worried about that, also. Is that gonna cost us, or what?</p>
<p>Research a postal store near campus and phone them. Yes, it will cost a monthly rent. Can’t you pick up your parking sticker in person when you move in?</p>
<p>Order the parking sticker right before you plan to drive up. They will give you a paper to print which will act as a temporary parking pass for 15 days. As soon as you get up to Tally, get the key for your PO Box.</p>
<p>Last year the parking permits went to U-boxes with no problems.</p>
<p>FSU should really have some address for us we can use to deliver non-P.O. Box packages. That sux</p>
<p>If you want a package sent via UPS, Fedex, DHL etc you simply have it addressed to your residence hall using its street address in this manner:<a href=“http://www.housing.fsu.edu/housing/ungrad/Shipping%20Packages.pdf[/url]”>http://www.housing.fsu.edu/housing/ungrad/Shipping%20Packages.pdf</a>.</p>
<p>Mail delivered via USPS goes to your U-Box number–this can include letters, packages, Priority Mail. Anything delivered via the USPS.</p>
<p>The delivery address for other things is as above. They are delivered to the dorm office for your building. They desks signs for anything you need a signature for. They hold it at the desk and they email you and leave a note on your door letting you know you need to pick up the package. It is that simple. Deliveries can start the day the dorms open up for the fall semester–Aug 19th.</p>
<p>You can get anything delivered to you that you want. It is not a big deal. Once you move in, you can have pizza delivered, Chinese food, a mattress. You name it. For food, you have to meet the delivery person at the door and pay. For a mattress, you have to be there to accept. For any other package sent UPS or Fedex, it will be delivered, you don’t have to be there, and you can pick it up at your convenience. </p>
<p>Your PO Box is free, and simply a way to get US Mail delivered to you. The University does use the U-box to send certain things, especially your dorm contract for spring term, as well as other official communications. It is like any other PO Box, it accepts things delivered via US Mail.</p>
<p>Thanks for the clarity Sunny. A funny thing I noticed about the PDF is that the zip code used for packages is 32306… However my P.O. Box zip code is 32313. If they’re in the same area, I wonder why a different zip code is used…</p>
<p>There are post offices that have their own zip codes, and those zip codes differ from the zip of the residential area that the post office is located in. </p>
<p>The U post office is an official USPS post office for the entire University, and has its own zip code. The street addresses of the dorms have zip codes consistent with the local area. It can be confusing.</p>
