Receiving packages, dorm closed?

<p>I'm ordering books for next semester and some books might arrive to my dorm before it opens for the school year. Since the dorm is closed, what happens to the packages? Are they stored in the post office for future pick up?</p>

<p>Sorry, I'm not quite familiar with the whole mailing system.</p>

<p>Don’t you think this question would be more appropriate for someone at your college’s mail center? Your college’s mail center will probably be open this week and receiving packages; give them a call.</p>

<p>The college will still receive the package, and will likely hold it until you get back to school (and distribute it when dorms officially open again). I wouldn’t worry about it - if you are really concerned, give them a call.</p>
