Just an FYI----UPS delivery to Yale can be a frustrating experience, especially at the start of the school year, when they are overwhelmed with packages. The boxes are stacked on huge UPS trucks; sometimes they have a hard time finding yours. They are supposed to send you an email when you receive a package, so you can pick it up; they often don’t. You try to track the package online and find a message that it had to be re-addressed or couldn’t be delivered then and they’ll have to try another time; you have no idea what was wrong with the address, as you followed instructions, and now your package is delayed for days. USPS package delivery there isn’t necessarily better; they are supposed to put a note in your PO Box stating you have a package, but often don’t. Rarely did things go as planned.
