Outgoing Mail is sent out by putting it in the long slot marked Outgoing Mail in the mail box row. (The slot is shown in the photo to the left) Mail is picked up daily, and usually in the late afternoon.
Incoming Mail - As a tenant you are assigned a mail box that is numbered the same as your room number when you move in. The key to your mailbox is attached to your room key. It is a small bronze key. (Tenant key set pictured below)
When you first arrive, it is up to you to fill out the form that the mailbox contains to say you live in that apartment now.
You may have already reported your change of address to the post office, but you still need to fill out the pink form in the mailbox when you arrive at Sahara. Leave it in your box for pick up by the mailman. Filling out this form will help in the placing of the correct mail into your mail box daily.
If a letter or a package comes to Sahara without an apartment number on it, the postman delivers it to the rental office. The office staff then hunts up the number of your apartment (when they get a chance) and gives it back to the postman the next day. This may delay the delivery of your mail a day or two. Please make sure your business associates, school and friends are always putting your apartment number on your letters!
Before you check out of Sahara, please fill out a change of address form found on www.usps.gov and put a copy in the outgoing mail slot. Otherwise you may never get your mail that is addressed to you here.
The USPS mail usually arrives in late afternoon, Monday – Saturday.
Whenever the office staff receives
a package (from whatever source) for you to pick up,
you will receive an email from us.
Please pick it up as soon as possible.
Your mailbox should be checked daily. This is essential, as your mailbox is small. Overflow mail will be left in the office, but this is not a great way to get your mail on time. Small packages that fit in the mailbox will be placed there for you to retrieve daily. Again, we suggest you check every day for mail and packages.
Packages larger than your mailbox.
There are two other methods to get large packages here at Sahara. The mailbox area has 5 large package delivery boxes.
1. If you find a seperate key in your mail box, it means the postman has left you a package in one of the five large package boxes found on the far right of the mail box row. (This key is pictured on the below left)
The name of the correct package box,with your package in it, is written on the key tag. You must match the name on the key to the correct package box to retrieve your package.
Leave the key in the door of the box after you open the package box.
The names/numbers of the package boxes are PL- 1, PL-2, PL-3, PL-4 and PL-5. If all five of these boxes are full, the mailman will bring your package into the office for you to pick up. If you don’t check your mail, you won’t know you have a package waiting for you. It is a great idea to stop ordering items for delivery here long before you plan to return home, or plan a move to another location.
The key to open the package box doors, stays in the door after you open it.
The mailman may remove the keys when he arrives each day, or leave them in the door until he needs a key. Do not try to remove the keys. The key will not come out! It is ok to leave the package key in the door.
2. If the package is too large and/or heavy to be left in the box, the package will be left in the office for you to pick up.
Whenever the office staff receives
a package (from whatever source) for you to pick up,
you will receive an email from us.
Please pick it up as soon as possible.
