Rochester College Storage Ship Ahead Service
Ship Items Directly to our UPS Store from Home or Online.
How Ship Ahead Works
If you plan to ship items prior to your arrival, those shipments can be sent to The UPS Store and we will deliver them to campus upon your arrival. The UPS Store will receive and deliver packages you ship from home as well as packages you order online and deliver them to you on campus or (within 2 miles of campus) off campus.
