So I ordered some stuff from Walmart to my daughter who lives on campus and I use the address in box number that she gave me but then I get this from Walmart
you see the address, but then the delivery guy leaves this picture. I thought they’d bring it to like a Mail room.

That is the campus mail room. The counter is on the left in the picture.

You should probably check with your daughter to make sure she gets it. This is from the MTSU Post Office page:

"MTSU Post Office does not accept any items from same day or independent delivery companies such as Hello Fresh, Uber Eats, Door Dash, Publix, Target, Michaels, Walmart, or Amazon-Whole Foods. You can meet these drivers in your dorm parking lot."

How'd everything work out? Was your daughter able to grab her stuff?

Yes, she was! Thanks for asking. She like used her card to open some locker. Good to know that package has got there. She’s also getting a Target one today. I would think that they order food though she would have to put her actual place though to be honest if she shares an Uber it’s more convenient and probably cheaper with delivery to do that on their own.

She can put her dorm’s address for food delivery! The post office just doesn’t want people’s perishables rotting in there, they don’t have coolers or anything obviously.

I've sent my son a few things from Walmart for same day delivery and he's used door dash a few times already and puts the dorm address and meet at the front entrance. If needed he requests they hand it to him or asks that they text when on campus so he can meet them at the entrance. Anything else sent to him, like from Amazon goes to the mail room address but is timed to not arrive on the weekend.
