The Campus Post Office will NOT accept grocery deliveries, (Walmart grocery pickup/Door dash). Students that use that option will need to make arrangements to meet the delivery driver in person to get their grocery/product order. This does not include orders from companies like HelloFresh.com or HungryRoot.com
Thank you
