Walmart Deliveries by Walmart Drivers

• Items ordered through and delivered by Walmart Drivers are NOT secure deliveries.
• Items ordered through Walmart and delivered by UPS or FedEx only will be received as normal.
• The mail room team does not have any way to determine how a package will be delivered even if the student/parent gives us an order number. We do not have access to Walmart Logistics which is proprietary software owned by Walmart.
• Walmart drivers will leave packages at doors outside the Student Services Building, in the Atrium, or anywhere that is convenient for them.
• Walmart packages not tendered directly to a mail room team member with proper credentials and complete recipient information are entirely between students and Walmart and will not be brought into the Business Center for any reason as a safety measure.
• If the driver delivers a package inside at the Business Center front counter as well as providing student’s first and and last name, we will process package and notify student for pickup of package as with any other package.
• Most Walmart deliveries brought by Walmart drivers only have the recipient’s last name making it impossible for mail room personnel to identify/notify student and properly sort/check-in the package because they do not have complete names nor scannable tracking numbers printed on them providing such detail.
• Although we discourage “Direct from Walmart Store Delivery”, if ordering Walmart Delivery from a local store, you must select “I’ll Sign for my order” and include       

  these exact Delivery Instructions when ordering:  

  Deliver ONLY to FAMU Business Center, 1510 Wahnish Way, Room 0002, Tallahassee, FL 32307 during normal business hours, Monday - Friday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m. and must be given directly to a Business Center Staff Member with my full name (first and last). No Packages Can Be Left Unattended – No Exceptions. 

• The mail room does not have refrigerated storage and will not receive perishable goods.
• The Mail Hub does not receive any deliveries from outside vendors at any time. All deliveries must be routed through the Business Center in the Student Service Center, with complete recipient details provided upon tendering the package.
