 Sending or Receiving Parcels?

Florida Tech transitioned to a High-Density Folder system, so you no longer need to remember a combination to retrieve your mail (students housed at Panther Bay will be assigned a physical box at their residence.) Students can pick up their mail at the Mailroom located in the Facilities Operations/Mail and Shipping Building.

To retrieve packages, visit us at Shipping and Receiving, across the street from the Scott Center of Autism. All housed students can send or receive from USPS, FedEx, UPS,  DHL, or Amazon (excluding lockers), or other. Students residing off-campus are welcome to send but not receive. 

We work hard to make you aware of the arrival of your packages as prompt as possible.  Communicating the arrival of your packages will come in the form of an email to your my.fit.edu email account  and  includes the tracking number, delivery date, and pickup location. If you prefer to receive an SMS alert please see a mailroom or shipping staff member at our locations.

Remember to bring your Student ID.  To ensure the safe handling of your parcels, we cannot release your item without your ID.
