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 South Campus Service Center.'  If you haven't received this email, it means the Service Center has not yet 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.

  • Service Centers will only accept packages that are 50 pounds or less.
  • Perishable Package Pickup Policy
    • If you are sending fresh food or other items that can spoil, clearly label the package with “PERISHABLE” in large, bold letters near the address label.
    • Please be aware of the following:
      • The Service Center does not have refrigeration.
      • Packages may take one or more days to be processed after arriving on campus.
      • You will receive a notification once your package has been processed and is ready for pickup. Do not attempt to pick up your package before receiving this message.
      • Exception:
        • Packages sent directly from food vendors (e.g., Hello Fresh, Goldbelly, local bakeries, etc.) are typically processed the same day they arrive, and you will be notified accordingly.
        • Once you receive the notification:
          • Perishable items must be picked up on the same day.
            Items not picked up that day will be discarded due to health and safety concerns.
