Bring your package to the Longwood Post Office sales counter located on the ground floor of Lankford Building adjacent to the Lancer Cafe'. We will give you several options and prices to compare and even make suggestions if you like. We do not have packaging for sale, but occasionally have "used" packaging donated to us by students, to give away. We accept cash and personal checks made out to Longwood University. Sorry, no credit or debit cards at this time.

As long as you are a residential student, your campus box number remains the same. If you choose to move off campus, you must forfeit your mailbox and furnish the Registrar's Office with your new local address.
