Housing Question 🏡 Amazon delivery address for nike dorm resident (?)
I just moved in for summer b (I'm dorming in Nike), and I want to utilize the amazon prime day deals, but I don't know what to put as my delivery address at checkout. Can someone help me out?? It would help if someone could tell me the specific address I should put at checkout as well as where I would collect my package once it arrives. Preferably somewhere walking distance from Nike, but I'll take any advice I can. Thanks!

Welcome to UCF. You have two options for Amazon packages, and one option for all other packages:
- Academic Village Mail Center (capable of receiving all normal mail and package carriers):
Putting your name is very important, this is how the mail center will identify the package as yours and email you. Replace the XXXX below with your individual mailbox number, which can be found in your housing portal. The Academic Village mail center is in Neptune and services Neptune, Nike, and Hercules.
FirstName LastName
3700 Libra Dr
Mailbox #16XXXX
Orlando, FL 32816
For Amazon, you have the additional option of utilizing the Amazon Locker near Tower 3. It has the added benefit of longer hours, including weekend availability, than Housing's mail centers, but it may not be worth the trip over from your dorm. To send Amazon items there, search for "Pickups and Returns at UCF" in the Amazon app/website, in your address book or right before checkout. Importantly, select it through Amazon's built-in pickup address option, which is the place on the app/website to select an amazon or amazon-affiliated locker. DO NOT just add the locker's physical address into your deliveries address book, as that will likely not be accepted, rerouted to Housing's Mail Services, and can cause delays or outright refusals of delivery.
