The UMaine Package and Postal Center is your one-stop shop for campus mail. We process all incoming and outgoing mail, manage deliveries to residence halls and academic buildings, and provide professional mailing production services.
Student Package Pickup
If you are a student living on campus, your packages are held securely at the Package & Postal Center.
The Golden Rule: A delivery notification from a vendor (like Amazon) or a carrier (UPS, FedEx, USPS) does not mean your package is ready. Please wait for an official email from um.yougotapackage@maine.edu before coming to the window.
