Your letters are delivered to the letterboxes in block 2, near the laundry room.

Parcels

Anything that won’t fit into the letterbox will be delivered to Accommodation Customer Services desk in 1H29 (opposite The Hub).

You will receive an email from Accommodation Customer Services when your parcel is ready to collect. Ignore any emails from your courier as Customer Service aim to process parcels within 48 hours of it arriving on campus, but during peak times (Black Friday, Christmas, etc.) it might take a little longer.

Tips for collecting 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.

Sending post and parcels

Glenside Campus does not have an outward postal service. If you need to send a stamped letter you can find post boxes just outside Glenside Campus. Venture into Fishponds to use the Post Office (inside the Co-Op, BS16 2LE) to send any other mail and parcels.
