Incoming USPS Mail
The Mailroom staff picks up all available mail/packages from the USPS each morning,
Monday through Friday, between 8:30am - 9:30am.
· Student Mail will be sorted daily before noon, and available to be picked up by an R.A./CC and put in the Residence Hall mailboxes the same day.
· The mailboxes at West are property of USPS. Correctly addressed mail is directly delivered there from the post office (example below).
· West Mail that is too big for the mailboxes, or is incorrectly addressed, will come to the mailroom where it is verified and held until picked up by the student or an R.A.
· Please remember that the actual time you receive your mail may vary depending upon the time mail is available for pick-up from the USPS and the volume of mail received on a given day.
· Please report any problems you encounter to the Residence Life Office.
Note: It is recommended that family, friends, and relatives DO NOT send cash through
the United States Postal System.

Incoming Packages
Incoming packages for all resident students will be received by the McKendree University
Mailroom.
· The Mailroom staff will notify any student who receives a package via cell phone or written notice delivered with the students mail.
· The mailroom staff will need a cell phone or alternate contact number of all students to ensure prompt notification.

· Due to the increase in the number of packages and the limited amount of space in the mailroom, it is imperative packages are picked up as soon as possible.
· Any package not picked up by the student within 10 days after the student has been notified will be returned.
· Students are responsible for notifying the mailroom of any packages arriving under an alias or in a parents’ name. Any packages that arrive under unknown names will be returned to sender.
