    Sending packages to RHUL
    I was thinking of sending some stuff via mail to myself to RHUL, since it is much cheaper for me to send it than to bring it by plane.
    Does anyone know what is the procedure for picking it up? Do you get packages delivered to the hall or do you have to go and pick them up? I just want to be prepared for bringing 30 kg package up the RHUL hill
    tnx in advance!

    Packages get sent to the post room and then you get them from there.
    What Halls are you in?
    If you're in the new halls then they'll go to the hub, but beware they are amazingly slow so it'll probably take you a while for them to send you the note to say your package(s) has come.

    From what I remember from when I was first in halls, you don't get a note to say that there's something for you to collect. You normally go to the reception and look at the list of stuff that's waiting to be collected.

    At least that's how it was in Kingswood 2-3 years ago..
