AmazonPrimeThe summary is that if you are ordering directly from Amazon Prime and attempting to deliver to an office in Cory Hall, and your package is delivered via Amazon Delivery Services, then there is a reasonable chance your package will not be delivered. The reason to order directly from Amazon is if you have a university-related effort with a deadline that cannot be met by ERSO. I allow at least 14 days for ERSO orders. Sometimes they are faster, sometimes not. When possible, please place your university-related orders via ERSO. (Please don't have non-University orders delivered to the campus.) If you use Amazon Prime, then your package may be delivered to your office by Amazon Delivery Services. The DOP Center is locked, so if your office is in the DOP Center, then there could be a problem. The workaround is to have your package delivered to an Amazon locker. (Welcome to the new world where you are the travel agent, the sysadmin, the grocery checkout clerk and now the delivery person). It is unclear to me what happens if your package is shipped via US Mail. I've had packages show up in 253 Cory. I'm not sure what happens with US Mail to grad students, see https://eecs.berkeley.edu/resources/grads/new-grads/facilities. I strongly encourage you to avoid US Mail to Cory. The only way to for sure avoid Amazon Prime deliveries via US Mail to campus is to select delivery via an Amazon Locker. An alternative is to have the package shipped to your residence. |
