<p>Hi, I am about to place the order on some books. The shipment is 4-14 days, and I am wondering if I should send it to UCSD or to my home address (in Norcal, which means I would have to get the books sent to SD if they come on the late side). If I sent the books to my UCSD address, will SD send the books back if they come too early? I think it depends on whether the carrier is FedEx or USPS, but I am not too sure. Thanks for all the help!</p>
<p>What do you mean, UCSD might send the books back? This shouldn't be a problem if you live on campus; Mail Services continues to work through vacations and your packages will be held at the distribution center assuming it's successfully delivered.</p>
<p>Another option is to have them sent to a friend of yours who lives off-campus, that way you can get the delivery confirmation without the hassle of getting down to SD yourself.</p>
<p>Props for ordering books online -- I don't think I bought a single book from the bookstore after my freshman year. :)</p>
<p>I thought they send it either back to the sender or to your home address during vacation.</p>
<p>They forward any packages they get over winter break to your home address. Trust me... I got something >_<. If you're ordering from a place like amazon I'd just invest another $5/book to get express shipping to your home.</p>
