Packages
Packages and mail received through Central Receiving are only received/delivered on weekdays! Special delivery of flowers or bakery products, etc. must be delivered to the Residence Life Office for pick up by the resident during regular business hours 8am-5pm Monday-Friday, as delivery personnel do not have access to the locked residence halls and Residence Life is closed on weekends and holidays.
If you have received a package, it will be indicated in one of two ways:
-
The desk attendant at the front desk of your residence hall will log the package and write your name on a board at the front desk.
-
If you receive a yellow slip you will need to go to the main Grand Junction Post Office, located on the corner of 4th Street and White Avenue, to pick up the package.
