Mail Call!
Looking to send mail and packages to your on-campus student? Don't let your heartfelt messages get lost.
To receive USPS mail or packages, students living in residence halls must obtain a P.O. Box from the Mississippi State University Post Office. This can be done through the USPS website.
Please note, if a package is larger than P.O. Box size, the MSU Post Office will hold it at the desk for pickup and the student will be notified.
Below are the prices and dimensions for P.O. Boxes. Prices and availability are subject to change.
3” x 5.5”
3 months $17
6 months $30
12 months $60
5.5" x 11"
3 months $45
6 months $78
12 months $156
When sending your package to a student with a P.O. Box, use the following format:
Full Name
P.O. Box Number
Mississippi State, MS 39762
Students in residence halls who do not choose to obtain a P.O. Box will not receive USPS mail.
- Packages from DSL, FedEx, UPS, and Amazon can be delivered directly to the residence hall.
- NOTE: Providers such as DSL, Fed Ex, or UPS do have national contracts with USPS. Often times these providers will have USPS deliver these packages on their behalf. With that being said, sometimes even if a package is from DSL, Fed Ex, or USP, it will be delivered to the Post Office (USPS) and the Post Office (USPS) will then become responsible for the delivery/pick up of that package. That is why it’s best for students to have a P.O. Box while on campus.
When sending a package to a student without a P.O. Box, use the following format:
Full Name
Name of Residence Hall
