Mail & Shipping Service
U.S. Postal Mail & Shipping Services
Texas A&M University students living in on-campus apartments can receive mail via their University Apartments, but residence hall/corps must rent a mailbox or post office box.
Mailboxes are provided at the University Apartments as part of your housing charges. Each apartment is assigned one mailbox for the residents to share and each student resident is issued a mailbox combination upon moving into an apartment. The apartment community also has several package mailboxes. If you receive a key in your mailbox, this indicates you have received a large package and must pick it up in the large mailboxes.
Mail delivery is handled by the U.S. Post Office for Gardens Apartments and by Texas A&M University Mail Services for White Creek Apartments.
Gardens Apartments
White Creek Apartments
Mailboxes for White Creek Apartments are located on the outside of Building A.
If you are receiving a package from the USPS at White Creek you mail receive an email from Pack City that your package(s) maybe picked up at our e-lockers. The e-lockers are located at White Creek apartments within the breezeway of building B. Included in the email will be 6 digit PIN code or a barcode which can be scanned at the e-lockers when you will retrieve your package from the e-locker system.
The pick-up location for White Creek residents for signature-required mail and all USPS packages that do not fit in the e-locker system will be in the Mail Services building located at 330 Agronomy Road. This pick-up location is open to students Monday – Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m.
Non-delivered parcels due to over-size and/or requirements for signature will be held for a period of 7 days beginning with date listed on the delivery notice and will be returned to sender at the end of that 7-day period if not claimed.
Any undeliverable mail (e.g. no building #, no suite #, no resident listing) once Mail Services exhausts their lookup resources will either be immediately returned to sender or will be recycled in the case of junk mail.
Please place delivered mail to your box that is not your mail in outgoing mail slot and Mail Services will redeliver or forward/return through USPS.
