How are UPS and FedEx packages delivered? [top]

Letters and packages should be addressed to your Wes Box. This is different than a P.O. box.

Your name

Wes Box (your box #)

45 Wyllys Ave

Middletown CT 06459

Letters and small packages will be placed directly in your Wes Box. Larger packages and overnight envelopes will be available at the downstairs package pick up window. You will rceive an email as soon as it is ready for pick up.

 

When tracking packages please keep in mind that we receive and process thousands of letters and hundreds of packages each day. This takes time! UPS and FedEx packages that have been signed for are in the building but have not been processed yet. We will send an email as soon as your package is ready for pick up.

 

United States Postal Express Envelopes and delivery confirmations will say "Received in Middletown" when it has arrived at the Middletown Post Office. We pick up from the Middletown Post Office once in the morning. If the package was not ready at that time we will not pick it up until the following business day. In this case the tracking will say "Delivery Attempted, No one was available."

I thought our Wes Box was the same every year. Why did some students change Wes Boxes this year? [top]

I have a mailing for a student event or group that I would like to send to students. How do I go about it?? [top]

You will need to provide volunteers to place your mailing in the students boxes. They will need to sign in at the service window. If preparing a mailing for all students, plan to make 2700 copies. An all student mailing will take you approximately 3 hours to accomplish. If planning to mail to one class year plan for 800 pieces. This should take approximately 1 hour.
