Please know that non-standard shipping providers (other USPS, UPS, FedEx, sometimes Amazon) have new drivers delivering every day, and packages sometimes end up all over campus.  Menlo College Conference Services is not responsible for lost items due to a shipping provider not delivering to the Post Office.  You will need to discuss those issues with the company that shipped your item.

Any package that arrives that is marked perishable or indicates that it should be refrigerated will be put in the Student Union refrigerator.
