Packages in the Residence Halls

We know it is important for students to receive mail and packages in a timely way. Housing & Residence Life accepts and temporarily stores packages as a convenience for students living in university housing.

Students should review the full Package Acceptance, Storage, and Unclaimed Property Policy for complete details. 

How It Works

When a package is delivered to Housing and processed by staff, you will receive a pickup notification through your WMU email. That email is the official notice that your package is ready for pickup.

Carrier Notifications vs. WMU Notifications

Sometimes a delivery company may mark a package as “delivered” before Housing has received or processed it. This is common during busy times, so please wait for the official WMU Housing pickup notification before coming to pick up your package.

Sending Packages to Campus

When ordering packages, use your full name (as it appears on your WMU ID) and correct format for your mailing address. Check the Mailing Addresses page for the correct. Incorrect or incomplete delivery information may delay your package or make it undeliverable.

Picking Up Your Package

Packages must be picked up during your hall’s package pickup hours. These hours vary by hall. See hall for more details. Please bring your WMU ID, package notification email and retrieve your package as soon as possible after you receive your WMU email notification.

Package Holding Period

Housing will hold packages for up to 10 calendar days starting on the date of the first WMU Housing pickup notification email being sent. Packages not picked up within that time will be considered unclaimed.

Unclaimed or Undeliverable Packages

If a package is not picked up within 10 calendar days, Housing will first try to return it to the sender when feasible. If it cannot be returned, it may be donated, recycled, or disposed of through university-approved processes.

What We Accept

Housing accepts packages delivered by established carriers such as USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, and similar package delivery services. Packages must be delivered directly to Housing staff during normal business hours to be logged and managed through the package process.

Last Mile Carriers

Some packages may be delivered by Last Mile Carriers such as Amazon Flex, SpeedX, OnTrac, Lasership, or similar services. Housing will make reasonable efforts to process these packages when they are delivered directly to Housing staff during normal business hours.

What We Don’t Accept

Housing does not accept personal drop-offs or same-day delivery items from friends, family, guests, grocery delivery services, restaurants, DoorDash, UberEATS, Shipt, Walmart+, Meijer Delivery, Hello Fresh, or similar services. Students using these services must meet the delivery provider in the main lobby of their building and accept the packages themselves.

Time-Sensitive or High-Value Deliveries

If you are expecting something urgent, valuable, or time-sensitive, please plan ahead. Housing cannot guarantee delivery timelines, package condition, or carrier performance, and staff may not know what is inside a package.

Perishable Deliveries

Housing may accept perishable deliveries only from approved vendors which include flower arrangement companies, Edible Arrangements, and Gold’n Brown Bakery. These items are not refrigerated and will only be held for up to 3 days, so students should pick them up quickly.

Amazon Lockers

Amazon Lockers are available in Valley Oaks and Henry Halls for students living in those specific residence halls. If a locker is available, you may see that option during Amazon checkout. Packages placed in lockers can be picked up 24/7, but have a shorter window to be picked up, so make sure to pick up packages promptly.

If Something Seems Missing

If you believe a package was delivered but you have not received a WMU Housing pickup notification email, check your carrier tracking information and your WMU email first. Then contact your hall office or mailroom with the tracking number, delivery confirmation, and any helpful details.

Please Remember

Housing provides package acceptance and temporary storage as a convenience for residential students. Students are responsible for using accurate delivery information, watching their WMU email, and picking up packages promptly.
