Shipping to Dorms?

<p>How does this work in terms of addresses? Amazon won't take the "roomnumber dorm" line of the address!</p>

<p>I ended up putting xxx Dorm, University of Texas, xxx street address, Austin TX zip. A question will come up asking if you are sure this is the address (something like that) and I clickec yes. My son did get the package, so it did work.</p>

<p>So you put “xxx Dorm, University of Texas” on the first address line, then “xxx Street Address” on the second address line?</p>

<p>Yes. I did abbreviate University of Texas to Univ. of Texas, so it would go on one line. If the dorm name is long, you might have to put UT, instead.</p>

<p>Uh you do not have to put UT on there. It’s just extra, and isn’t needed. So if that is causing the problem just drop it.</p>

<p>Do this if it’s not working. It works just fine:</p>

<p>Sally Bob
1234 whitis avenue whatever
123 Kinsolving (room and dorm)
Austin, TX 78705</p>

<p>The following link gives the Hall mailing addresses. Hope this helps.</p>

<p>[Division</a> of Housing and Food Service - Mailing Addresses](<a href=“UHD Homepage | University Housing and Dining”>UHD Homepage | University Housing and Dining)</p>

<p>If the on line form you are filling out only has three lines for the address, you can use:
Sally Bob
1234 whitis avenue, #K123<br>
Austin, TX 78705 </p>

<p>or fit in as many letters of the dorm name as you can until you run out of characters
Sally Bob
1234 whitis avenue, #Kinso123<br>
Austin, TX 78705 </p>

<p>rather than using
Sally Bob
1234 whitis avenue whatever
123 Kinsolving (room and dorm)
Austin, TX 78705</p>

<p>Both artsy and midwest’s mom’s version works on amazon. </p>

<p>Still can’t get anything to work on some other sites. Say’s it is not recognized.</p>

<p>I got the same (or similar) message from Barnes and Noble. However, when I added Univ. of Texas, it allowed the order to go through and my son got the package.</p>
