Notice Regarding Temperature Controlled Packages

We do not recommend shipping anything that needs to be temperature controlled. We are unable to guarantee continuous temperature control.

Notice Regarding Food Delivery Service

The campus post offices are not able to receive food deliveries for students. This includes services like Door Dash, UberEats and InstaCart.

If you use this type of service, you should treat it like a pizza delivery and arrange to meet the delivery person outside of your dorm or apartment building.

• We will begin holding packages starting August 1^st
• Bring prescription medication when coming to campus to ensure availability as needed
• Contact a local pharmacy to setup fulfillment of your medications
  • We do not have a way to differentiate these items from normal packages and do not have a way to prioritize them

NRH and Global Village Post Offices receive up to 1000 packages a day for approximately 6 weeks. We will do our best to process packages quickly, but due to high volumes it may take longer than usual for your package to be processed.

Prescription medication questions should be directed to Becky Wilson, rawshc@rit.edu, or the general health center email, ritshc@rit.edu. Thank you for your understanding; we appreciate your patience during this very busy time

Resources for International Shipping

Please note, each country has its own shipping regulations that may differ from domestic shipping regulations. Any domestic restriction still applies to international shipments even if the restriction isn’t listed for the country. Also of note, if you use their calculator for pricing, generally, our prices will differ to your benefit.

The following links will provide essential information:

• USPS: https://www.usps.com/international/preparing-international-shipments.htm
  Please refer to steps 1 & 2 as well as the very bottom
• UPS: https://www.ups.com/us/en/services/international-shipping/international-shipping-basics.page
  This is an excellent guide for UPS international shipping.

When checking country regulations the most important tabs for you to check are:

• Commodity specific stipulations
• Prohibited or restricted commodities
• Special clearance requirements
