Post services
We provide a range of incoming and outgoing post services for all campus users including the Student Parcels Service
The Mailroom manages all mail and parcels to the Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é campus.
We provide a collection and delivery service for staff and campus partners and provide a storage facility for student parcels until you can collect.
All student envelope mail is sent direct to Hall Receptions.
All parcel deliveries are logged into our Parcel Tracker software. You will receive an email from no-reply@getparceltracker.com advising of the next steps and again when you have collected or we have delivered. In the event you do not receive your emails, please check your Junk Folder.
Parcels without a student ID number as part of the address take longer to match to you and could result in being sent back to the sender. Please always add you student ID number into your address when ordering things.
At the start of term deliveries are managed slightly different for , LoveSpace and UniWiz packages. Click on the link below to find out more.

Student Parcel Retention Policy
Our Mailroom does not have the space to store parcels indefinitely.
Parcels are therefore held within our space for 14 days only.
Reasonable steps are taken to match parcels to students through three email reminders that their parcels are here. Students are given plenty of time to arrange for collection within that timescale.
Only in exceptional circumstances will we arrange to hold parcels for longer than the 14 days. Please contact us to discuss this service if you feel it is needed.
All abandoned parcels, after the 14 day period, are either returned to sender, disposed of or donated to charities connected to the University.
(This Policy has been approved by an independent legal firm who confirm it complies with the Theft Act 1968 and Postal Services Act 2000)
Student Parcels Service
Throughout the Academic Year all parcel deliveries to campus are made to our facility in the Herbert Manzoni Building.
Upon receipt of your parcel, we process it through our system Parcel Tracker, and you will be contacted via email containing a QR code. Please bring your QR code to us in the Herbert Manzoni Building to collect your item.
Please do not contact us or call in until you have received our email from Parcel Tracker.
Parcels without your student ID number as part of the address could be delayed by up to 24 hours as we try to identify which parcels belong to which student. In some cases unidentified parcels could be returned to the sender.
To help us process your parcels, please remember to set your delivery details as follows including your ID number:
Your name
Your student ID number
Your hall of residence
Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é
Ãå±±ÂÖ¼é
Leicestershire
Postcode: please use the post code for your exact hall
Parcels without your student ID number as part of the address take longer to match to you and could result in being sent back to the sender.
At the start of term, Unikit, LoveSpace and UniWiz and all other hall kit deliveries, are made direct to your Hall. See the drop down for details of how to address these deliveries.
For the Unite Halls of Harry French, The Holt and William Morris letters will be delivered by the postman into the relevant post boxes at the Hall.
If you wish to receive parcels at a Unite Hall you will need to complete a parcel disclaimer form giving the hall reception permission to take parcels on your behalf. You will be given a form on arrival, or you can request one at the hall reception.
If you have any queries, please speak to your Hall Reception.
Parcels without your student ID number as part of the address take longer to match to you and could result in being sent back to the sender.

Staff post services
As a member of staff, when can I expect my mail and deliveries to be dropped off at my building?
We provide a morning and afternoon delivery service, delivering to East Park in the morning and West Park in the afternoon. The dividing point is the Herbert Manzoni Building.
Where are the Delivery Drop Off Locations and where does my location feature on the round?
The Delivery drop Off Locations are defined by customer type.
The Bag Number relates to the reference we use for billing.
When will you process my outgoing mail?
Once your blue mail bag arrives back into the Herbert Manzoni Building, we will prioritise all outgoing mail to ensure that all Royal Mail and courier time critical services are honoured.
If your outgoing mail is urgent, please visit the Herbert Manzoni counter and our team will process your mail straight away.
When will you deliver my print job?
All print deliveries that are small enough for the blue mailing bags will be delivered in the morning and afternoon rounds, providing they are prepped and ready to go in time.
The deadline for inclusion in the morning round is 10am.
The deadline for inclusion in the afternoon round is 12 noon.
Any items for delivery that fall after the blue mail bags have left the Herbert Manzoni Building will be delivered in the next day’s rounds or can be collected from the Herbert Manzoni Counter.
This includes all Online Shop deliveries and all bespoke print requests sourced via our Accounts Team.
If the size and/or weight of your print job creates a manual handling risk to our operatives, we will deliver these items when we can but encourage our customers to collect where possible and when urgent.
When collecting, customers must never enter the loading bay area without prior arrangement via print@lboro.ac.uk. This ensures we employ full risk management as the loading bay area is defined as high risk.
Will you deliver my lecture notes to my lecture room?
No. We no longer deliver to specific rooms.
All deliveries are made to the single Delivery Drop Off Location within your building or department.
Delivery Drop Off Locations are easily identified by our grey, yellow and white sign.
Can members of staff have personal items delivered to campus?
No. We request that personal deliveries do not get delivered to campus
This helps us to manage the capacity of our services and prevents the loss of personal deliveries across the site
Post services for everyone
Amazon
We provide a processing and storage service for all student Amazon parcels.
Staff parcels are delivered out across campus either in the blue mail bags or in specific deliveries according to the package size.
If you need to collect your parcel outside of our standard opening hours you should instead direct your delivery to the Amazon lockers on campus:
- BALLER - Students' Union
- ORKNEY - Herbert Manzoni (9am to 5pm only)
- REIJS - Students' Union - Purple Onion Shop

We offer 1st class, 2nd class, Signed For, Recorded or Special Delivery services over our Herbert Manzoni counter
We strongly recommend using signed for or tracked services for valuable items.
