To make sure your post and parcels reach you as quickly as possible, you must make sure it is addressed correctly. You should address it:

Letters

Each flat in Kingfisher Court has an assigned letterbox, you'll find these in the lobby by reception.  Your flat number will match your letterbox, each box is kept safe and secure with a padlock. Its unlocked with the padlock code Accommodation Services emailed you when you moved in.

Lost the email? No problem! Send them a quick email and they will reply with the code.

Parcels

Anything that won’t fit into the letterbox will be delivered to Reception.

You will receive an email from Accommodation Customer Services when your parcel is ready to collect, ignore any emails from your courier.  They aim to process everything within 48 hours of it arriving.  But during peak times (Black Friday, Christmas, etc.) it might take a little longer.

You will need to show your QR code from your email when you come to collect your parcel

Your QR code is personal to you.

If you choose to share your QR code with someone else, you do so entirely at your own risk.

If someone else uses your QR code - whether with your permission or not - the University cannot accept responsibility or liability for any parcel that is lost, collected by the wrong person, or cannot be located afterwards.

Opening times

You can collect parcels from Reception every day between 08.00 - 18.00

Tips for collecting your post and parcels

• Add your student ID to your address so we can match it to you.
• Don’t use a nickname or abbreviations. Make sure to use the name you registered with as a student.
• Save yourself a journey and wait for our email to come through. If it hasn’t, your parcel will not be ready for collection. 
• Don’t forget to change your address when you move out. UWE Bristol can only accept post for current students.
