Virginia Tech Mail Services
Mail Services at VT is excited to welcome the incoming class of 2029! As you prepare to send your favorite Hokies off to campus, here are a few tips for mailing packages during move-in. You can also access a video webinar about mail services and what to expect for move-in.
- If you are mailing packages to yourself before move-in, please plan for them to arrive no earlier than the week of August 12 to help manage the increased volume during that time
- Move-in is one of the busiest times of year for Mail Services, so processing delays are more likely. Pack essentials for the first two weeks, consider shopping local when you arrive, and order early!
- For best results, use the Campus Mail Portal to track packages and always use the proper residence hall address format.
