Packages will be held by the security staff and you will be notified to pick them up. Things to consider before you ship packages overseas Shipping and custom regulations are very strict in London, so thoroughly research shipping regulations before shipping packages. Note that electronics or valuables (i.e. computers) should never be shipped to London; these items will be held at customs and taxed heavily. Medications cannot be shipped to London. If you have questions, contact SU Abroad before shipping items abroad. Before shipping, review helpful tips on mailing packages overseas: http://suabroad.syr.edu/acceptedstudents/packing/shippingandstorage.html And stay connected by following @SUAbroad and @syracuselondon on Twitter, liking SU Abroad and SU London on Facebook, and reading our blogs http://sulondon-blog.syr.edu/ and http://www.suablog.wordpress.com.
