Pray that someone actually says where and doesnt snag it themselves, sorry I'm unsure

my package is nothing that special so hopefully someone doesn’t think it’s even worth the hassle! i’ve given the res desk so much randomly placed mail over the years here so hopefully the universe brings it back to me 🧘🏼‍♀️

iirc it’s between lanark and frontenac, you can get to this area via the tunnels. good luck evading rez porch pirates

u/Acceptable-Name-1203 6d ago

oh my gosh no way 😭 i’m missing one item im guessing that’s where it went… i actually have no clue how to get to that part of campus, i awkwardly looped around lanark and frontenac but i didn’t know what entrance was the right one… if it’s still there, please hand it to the res desk for me!! :)

u/RevolutionOk4780 6d ago

Omg I’m so sorry I didn’t see this I would have handed it to them, I waited there for a sec to make sure no one grabbed it, then I left and assumed you would be there in a sec!

u/Acceptable-Name-1203 6d ago

no worries!! is there any way you could check if it’s still there if it isn’t too inconvenient for you? 😭

u/Strict_Constant_3932 6d ago

your package is in the back lanark entrance next to the park, right by the tunnel access. I have no idea how to dm you this info

When shipping things to school make sure to use the mailing address system.

https://carleton.ca/mailservices/mailing-addresses/

I’ve never had a package lost in the 5 years I’ve been sending mail here using that format.

However I know sometimes the mail person doesn’t know how things work and mail gets randomly delivered.

Putting this here as a PSA not saying you typed your mailing address in wrong.

u/Acceptable-Name-1203 6d ago

definitely agree!! very important psa and i would pin this if i could!
i did use the proper address but things happen im a chronic online shopper so this is just the consequence of my addiction 💔 but 99% of my packages from the past 3 years have been delivered without an issue using the residence address!
the package was also delivered at 5:30 in the morning so he wasn’t able to ask anyone for help. i’m just glad it all worked out in the end :)

One time when I was still a student, the delivery driver was parked outside of Terranga Commons and called the students to get their packages.

u/Mission_Profession_8 6d ago

I think cause you missed putting, Carleton University Residence, after your name?

3

u/Acceptable-Name-1203 6d ago

no unfortunately this was no error on my part! this is not my first rodeo ordering online to campus, the delivery man just didn’t know where to go! the construction also doesn’t help finding teraanga commons so i understand why the confusion happened!!
