Incoming UPS

UPS packages are not received at Mail Services, they are delivered directly to the address on the shipping label. Mail Services does not have the authority to redirect UPS packages in transit to departments; only the sender may do that. Departments are advised to contact carriers and shippers individually to arrange for alternative deliveries as needed. 

UPS Receiving Guidelines

  • UPS does not deliver to P.O. Boxes.
  • If an office is closed, the driver will make 3 delivery attempts before returning to the sender. If the package requires a signature, UPS will hold on to the package for 5 business days before returning it to the sender. UPS can redirect at the discretion of the sender, but on a case-by-case basis. The sender will need to call with their account number and tracking number to redirect a package.
