<p>I am going to order a new digital camera and i want to have it shipped to my dorm. Is it a bad idea having a $400 camera shipped to the dorm in this very very busy time? If i do go ahead with it, i give my full address then pick it up at one of the mail desks (either ups or fedex) right?</p>
<p>The housing office said that you should not ship anything to the dorms between the 29th to the first of september. If you do you might not get immediate access to your items. But I'm doing it anyway</p>
<p>Hmmm...then this is a bad idea....</p>
<p>It probably won't arrive at home before you leave, anyways. You might as well have it shipped to the dorms. It just might take an extra day or two b/c the front desk is dealing with a lot of incoming packages at once.</p>
<p>Ship it, but make sure it's insured.</p>
