Package Pick-Up Information
How long do I have to pick up my package after I received a UG2 notification?
Answer: Packages are held at the designated package centers for a total of 9 days.
Packages placed in smart lockers will be there for up to 2 days, then they will be held at the designated package center for 7 days (for a total of 9 days).
Packages not collected within 9 days will be returned to sender.
What to do if I cannot pick up my package within 9 days?
Answer: If you are planning to be away from campus for more than nine days, we recommend that you use the Proxy feature to have a trusted person pick up your package due to the limited capacity to hold packages at the package centers.
NOTE: Packages cannot be held over winter break and will be returned to sender after the nine days.
Security Monitoring at the Smart Lockers
Answer: Security monitoring is in place, and a snapshot may be taken of individuals who pick up items from the lockers and stored for 90 days.
UG2 Notification E-mail
What is an UG2 notification e-mail?
Answer: The UG2 notification e-mail lets you know that your package is ready for immediate pick up. The e-mail sender name and address is: UG2 Mail & Logistics (no-reply@pb.com).
This UG2 notification is different from the delivery confirmation from the carrier and is sent after your package has been processed
Tips:
Avoid a wasted trip: At times carriers update the delivery date prior to delivering the package. When your package is ready for immediate pickup, an e-mail notification will be sent from the UG2 Mail and Package Center Center (no-reply@pb.com), not the shipment carrier.

Moving and Forwarding
I’m moving out of EVGR, how can I arrange mail forwarding?
Answer: To request your first class United State Postal Service (USPS) flat mail and packages be forwarded to another domestic US address, please navigate to this portal: https://form.jotform.com/213095632888163

Once completed, forwarding will continue for one year after you move out of EVGR.

If you have moved from one EVGR unit to another EVGR unit, please alert any senders of your new address/new apartment number. UG2 will not forward mail from one EVGR location to another EVGR location.
