Announcements
- READ YOUR EMAIL! It tells you WHERE your package is located. Package lockers have been strategically placed across campus to provide the quickest, most efficient delivery.
- Not sure WHERE that location is? Use the my.clemson app and select Map. Using the Search tool on the right, select Package Lockers and select the location where the email indicated. The map will show you where to go.
- Expired packages – to move packages through the lockers as quickly as possible, you typically have 48 hours to retrieve them. After that, you will be notified, and the package will be brought back to the Student Post Office where you can pick it up there. Any item not retrieved after (21) days will be returned to the sender.
