IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM MAIL SERVICES

The university Mail Service staff is excited about your arrival to campus. Mail Services offers a full array of services from USPS, UPS and FedEx, along with mailing supplies and package preparation services.

Faculty, Staff and Student Packages

  • In order to avoid crowding and long lines in our mail-room, reservations are required to visit Mail Services in order to pick-up or mail packages at the service lobby window.
  • To make a reservation, go to deaconrec.wfu.edu and choose the Mail Services icon using your WFU Google sign-on.
  • To make your experience as efficient as possible:
    • Please wait to receive an email confirmation from WFU Mail Services that indicates that your package has been processed internally before making a reservation.
    • Additionally, students should pick up their package slip from their PO Box prior to their appointment time and bring that to the service counter.
  • Reservations are not required to mail a FedEx package from the FedEx window.

As you prepare to come to campus, we ask that you minimize the number of items shipped to campus to avoid crowding and long lines in our mail-room. The Benson Center will have capacity limits that may increase the time it may take to connect you with your package(s). We recommend you bring what you need with you as you travel to campus for move-in.
