Hill House residents: 

Do NOT address your mail/packages to 1225 Midland Ave. Items delivered to 1225 Midland/Hill House will not be accepted.

You must present your 1card to receive mail or packages.

Post Office - Open Monday-Friday, 8:30 am - 5 pm & closed College holidays unless otherwise noted.

 

Tracking number says DELIVERED? 

Many companies use USPS Delivery Confirmation as their preferred shipping method. “Delivery Confirmation” is something of a misnomer. When the USPS web site tells you that such an item has been “delivered,” it means that it has arrived at the local Post Office in Bronxville, not at Sarah Lawrence College.  

 

Packages are brought to SLC at various times throughout the day. Items must first be received then assigned by the SLC Post Office. 

 

Until you receive an email from the SLC Post Office, the package or mail is not yet in our tracking system. Once assigned, you will receive an automated email letting you know your item is ready for pick up at the SLC Post Office.

 

Someone else picking up a package for you? 

Under limited circumstances, with preapproval, you may have a proxy collect a package on your behalf. For authorization and instructions please email  postoffice@sarahlawrence.edu.

 

Missing a package? 

We work hard to make certain no package goes astray! Occasionally, packages arrive with incomplete, missing or incorrect names. If you are expecting a package and it has not yet arrived, please send tracking information, your name and SLC ID number to the SLC Post Office at postoffice@sarahlawrence.edu. We will investigate and reply to your email as soon as possible!
