QUEENS UNIVERSITY MAIL CENTER - FAQ
How does the student mail/package notification work?
When the Ricoh/Queens Mail Center receives mail and/or packages for you, your mail will be placed in your mail slot, which is barcoded with your information. The bar code will be scanned and generate an email notification indicating that you have mail.
For all students, upon receiving a package notification, you should proceed to the Mail Center KIOSK and swipe your Student ID Card, which will notify the Ricoh team that you are here to pick up your package. A team member will retrieve your package/mail and mark it as delivered.
How soon can I pick up my mail/package after the notification?
After receiving an email from Q-track, your mail/package will be ready to pick up.
Our hours of operation are M-F, 8:15am – 4:45pm.
There are times when the US Postal Service will send you notification of a Priority or Express Package delivery. Keep in mind, however, that this notification does not mean that the Mail Center has received your package from the Post Office; only that the Post Office is in receipt of your package. Please wait until you receive a notification from the Mail Center before coming to pick up the package.
The only notification about packages available for pickup will come from the University Mail Center.
