The ongoing surge in package volume to Ithaca College has been severely worsened by extensive delays from USPS and especially UPS. Their combined volumes are arriving 2-4 hours later than normal, resulting in only half of the normal time to process them each day.
Until this volume decreases and incoming delivery time goes back to normal, IC Mail Service will be severely impacted in its ability to process packages in the time students have come to expect.
While we can and will make every reasonable effort to make as many packages as possible available for pickup the same day they are received, large numbers will unavoidably spill over into the following day.
We ask your patience as we work to manage the impact of these changes.
NEXT DAY EXPRESS packages will not be affected, as these are usually received separately from other deliveries. These items will still be available for pickup the same day they arrive.
