Will the school begin receiving shipped packages on August 13th or do we wait until Aug 13th to mail them?
This is from the current Road to Vanderbilt:
Shipping Packages for Move-In
To ensure that packages are available for pickup on The Ingram Commons on Friday, August 21 or Saturday, August 22, the following guidelines must be followed:
Packages must be shipped via UPS or FedEx GROUND SERVICE ONLY.
Ship packages on or after August 13.
Using the correct shipping format (see box above), the student’s full name and the PMB address should be clearly marked on all packages. Packages should be numbered (e.g. 1 of 3, 2 of 3, 3 of 3).
Please make note of the number of packages shipped and any tracking numbers.
Bring this information with you to the Vanderbilt Bookstore/Mail Services tent on The Ingram Commons when picking up packages.
We recommend insuring packages for the value of the contents.
Package all items securely and add extra protection for fragile items.
You will need your Vanderbilt ID (Commodore Card) or photo ID to pick up packages.
You may wish to use boxes that are sized for easy carrying.
