Mail Services

Capital's Mail Services, located on the lower level of the Student Union, serves the campus community as a full-service U.S. Post Office. In addition to distributing mail to student mailboxes and picking up and delivering mail to campus offices, we weigh items, sell postage and arrange and receive UPS, Federal Express and other shipments.
We receive U.S. Postal Service mail daily in the morning. We then distribute it throughout campus.

Hours of Operation

We’re open from 8:30 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday, and we're closed on holidays when the university is closed.

Student Mailboxes

Student mailboxes are on the lower level of the Student Union. All undergraduate students get a secured mailbox free of charge.

Addressing Mail to Capital Students

Address mail to Capital students using the student's mailbox number, not to their residence hall.
The proper address format is:

Student Name & Box #
Capital University
745 Pleasant Ridge Ave
Columbus OH 43209-2427

Packages and Bulk Items

Students must pick up packages and bulk items from the Mail Services counter. Students receive an email informing them they have a package.

Amazon Lockers

Amazon lockers are available in several locations around campus.

  • Select the specific locker location when placing your order.
  • You will receive a pickup code once your package is delivered to the locker.
  • Scan the barcode in the delivery confirmation email or enter your code provided by Amazon.
  • You have 3 days to retrieve your package, or it will be returned to the hub.
