Mail is delivered to all residence halls by the U.S. Postal Service (U.S. mail) and Campus Mail Services (inter-campus mail). The address format to use is:
Student Name
Room number – Full building name (i.e., 123 Rodney A)
Street address – Room number (if room number ends in A or B, do not hyphenate; i.e., 123A)
Newark, DE 19717 – XXXX (zip code)
U.S. Mail is delivered directly to the residence halls Monday through Saturday, when the residence halls are open. Please do not include University of Delaware in the address. It is important to use the correct full residence hall zip code. If the line ÒUniversity of DelawareÓ is included, delivery may be delayed because the mail will go to Campus Mail Services first and is then delivered to the residence hall the next business day. Use the correct residence hall zip code 19717 –xxxx, not 19716.
Package Delivery
With the exception of Christiana Towers, Pencader and Ray Street, there are no staffed mailrooms to accept packages that require a signature. Packages sent through U.S. Mail require no signature and will be delivered with the daily U. S. mail. If no receipt signature is required, the mail or package may be left in the residence hall on the day it is delivered.
Mail or packages that require a receipt signature may be delayed if the resident is not available when the delivery person attempts to deliver.
Perishables
Perishables (i.e., flowers, refrigerated medications) should be sent only when prior arrangements with the residents have been made to arrange receipt.
Questions about mail or package delivery should be addressed to Campus Mail Services at 302-831-2158.
