Tips for a Successful Delivery
Is your package addressed correctly and include the following?
- Full Name of someone in the directory
- Addressed to 100 Nicolls Rd., Central Receiving
- PO #
- Building name/ Room # (especially if there is no PO)
- If your package is going direct to your building, you must have a name, building, and room number. NOT CENTRAL RECEIVING
- 4-digit zip for any USPS items.
Do you know the dimensions of your package?
- Is this delivery oversized?
- Have you measured all door openings to ensure the delivery will fit through ALL the doorways it needs to get to its final destination.
- Do you need this delivery un-crated or set up? – This may require white glove service or direct delivery and is not done by Central Receiving.
- Is there special equipment needed to move the item due to weight or size?
- If there is any uncertainty – please contact Central Receiving at central_receiving@stonybrook.edu or for USPS/ 4-digit zip questions contact mail_services@stonybrook.edu.
Do you know where to find your package once it’s delivered?
- Does your building have a central mail room or package drop area/table?
- If you cannot locate your package and you need to contact Central Receiving or Mail Services, you must have the following…
- Wolfmart PO #
- Tracking # from carrier
- Did you already track the package on the carrier’s website (FedEx, UPS, USPS)?
- Have you checked with any student assistants or colleagues that may share the space?
