Key to Addressing
Missing Packages and Mail
PACKAGE PICK UP
When you receive a package in the mail, an email will be sent to your FAU email. To pick up your package, bring a picture identification with you to your area mail center. During break housing and semester closing times, the mail delivery process will be slowed and the mail centers potentially closed. All residents must check the flyers posted in the mail center areas for current information and/or changes to mail center policies, procedures and operating times. If you have any questions, or concerns, please contact residentialmail@foqingxuan.com.
MAIL FORWARDING
Residents must send an email to pbmsmailservices@foqingxuan.com with their full name, street address, city, state and zip code. Residents are responsible for notifying all subscription vendors and billing agencies at least 30 days in advance of checking out of University Housing of their change of address. If the resident doesn’t notify pbmsmailservices@foqingxuan.com in a timely manner his or her mail may be delayed.
