If you’re looking to travel light and pick up your bedding when you get to Glasgow there are a number of great options open to you.
Unfortunately, your residence team aren’t able to accept packages for you before arrival but that doesn’t mean you can’t start making plans before you set off.
1. UniKitOut
Our partners at UniKitOut have a great range of bedding and bedding kits to get you started and, if you place an order before Friday 30 August 2024 they'll have it delivered direct to your residence in time for your arrival!
Find out more in our intro to UniKitOut on UofGLiving.
2. Collection Points and Lockers
Another option would be one of the many Parcel Collection Points and Lockers that are located throughout the city. Many of these locations are even open 24/7 so you’ll be able to drop by and collect at a time that suits you. Here are a few of the main options:
Amazon Lockers and Counters
Just head to Amazon Pickup Locations and enter the postcode of your residence to find the closest. If you’re coming to Murano Street, you’ll also be able to use the Amazon Lockers located in the Central Services Building.
InPost
You’ll find many InPost lockers located throughout Glasgow and the West End. Find out more about lcoations and availability at InPost.co.uk
Yodel
Yodel host collection points in loads of local stores and branches including Spar, Key and USAVE. You’ll find your nearest Yodel collection point through the Yodel Store Locator.
Post Office
You can also have your packages delivered to one of Glasgow’s Post Office branches. They are mostly open during regular office hours and you’ll find the closest one to you on their Branch Finder.
