<p>Does anyone know when AU allows packages to be shipped to school? My D wants to order some books.</p>
<p>Yes, my D orders all sorts of things from Amazon. Just list your child’s school address with dorm name and room number. She’ll get an email when the package arrives in the mail room.</p>
<p>My D has had books shipped a few weeks before school starts every year without any problem. They’re just held until she arrives.</p>
<p>At Eagle Summit I believe they said that they will start holding packages on August 14th, which is this Tuesday. So you will be fine if you order anything from today on. </p>
