Note : please leave your storage items inside your suite . Olympia will pick them up from your suite next week.

You will not need to pay cash or credit upfront for this off-site storage. Olympia will bill you after it picks up your belongings, and request that you pay by credit card.

Mail, Packages Keys and Check Out:

Also please remember to do the following before you leave:

Set up mail forwarding: http://hums.harvard.edu/mail-delivery/student-mail-forwarding (*Also, remember to update your shipping address with Amazon and other online retailers*.) Check your mailbox and the package room to ensure that you have picked up any letters or parcels. Return your key to the Building Manager’s office, and "swipe out" with your HUID in order to complete the checkout process.

PLEASE UPDATE YOUR FORWARDING ADDRESS



Mail Forwarding is an option available to residents of the Harvard Yard Mail Center, the Upper Class Houses, Cronkhite Hall, the GSAS Mail Centers, and Vanderbilt Hall. When a resident leaves, whether temporarily or permanently, they may submit a forwarding order and their mail will be forwarded to an address of their choosing. Please note that if mail is being forwarded off-campus (which is most common), only First Class U.S. Mail can be forwarded. U.S. Standard Mail, Non-Profit Mail, magazines, and any parcels received through private carriers cannot be forwarded.

It is important that you update your shipping address with Amazon and any other online retailers because many parcels are not forwardable. Parcels that arrive on campus from private carriers such as AMZL, UPS, FedEx, etc. are not forwardable and will be returned to the sender.

Your forwarding information can be updated here:
