Receiving mail at your Service Center

When a parcel is processed at the Service Center, you will receive an email from 'Student Mail Services' with the subject of 'You've got mail! Envelope at North Campus Service Center.'  If you haven't received this email, the Service Center has not received or processed the parcel.  If you have any questions, please get in touch with the Service Center at scl-student-srv@mail.scl.cornell.edu

TIP: Always put your NetID in your mailing address.  Your NetID is the key piece of information that we use to process your mail and packages; not including it could result in slower processing times or a possible return to sender.
  • Service Centers will only accept packages that are 50 pounds or less.
  • If sending fresh food, write ‘Perishable’ in large letters on the parcel. As the Service Center does not have refrigeration, perishable items must be picked up the same day they are received, or they will be discarded.
  • Please note that the Service Center does not have refrigeration and is not a drop-off location for perishable food items (e.g., DoorDash, GrubHub, Instacart, food delivery) or other local delivery (e.g., Walmart, Target).
