You can use Amazon lockers in Halls
Thursday, 18 July 2019
Colleagues working on the University’s Whiteknights and London Road campuses are advised that they can use Amazon Hub Locker in some of our Halls of Residence. These lockers are located in:
- Bridges Hall (Locker name: Mullen)
- Sherfield Hall (Locker name: Dinely)
- St George’s Hall (Locker name: Virgo)
- Windsor Hall (Locker name: Cohen)
All the four halls are located within easy walking distance, and you can find the exact location in this Halls Map.
Followed requests from colleagues, our Campus Services team explored with Amazon the possibility of installing lockers on the Whiteknights and London Road campuses. However, after lengthy discussions, Amazon felt there were enough alternate locations available nearby and withdrew from negotiations.
We understand that colleagues may want a personal item delivered at work occasionally. If you are doing so, please ensure that the order has the correct delivery address (including room number, building name and postcode). Please check that your preferred delivery address is in the order, especially if you use 1-Click or previous stored addresses.
A safe way to receive a parcel is to address it “For attention of: Your name” with the delivery address of the Post Room in Whiteknights House:
Post Room
University of Reading
B10, Whiteknights House
Whiteknights
Reading
RG6 6UR
There will be a slight delay in the delivery of this item, but it will be signed for and trackable. If you require the item urgently, you can visit the Post Room once it is delivered and collect it yourself.
