Addressing parcels

Mail and parcels addressed to UBC Okanagan recipients

Mail coming in from external senders to the Okanagan campus must have recipient name, department name, building address, the city, the province, and the postal code.

The following format should be used:

John Smith
Central Receiving and Mail Services
3287 University Way
Kelowna BC V1V 1V7

Please note that the common address ‘3333 University Way’ should no longer be used. All buildings on the Okanagan campus now have their own address. If you wish to look up an address you can do so by visiting the UBC Directory and searching for the name of your recipient.

Mail addressed to UBC Vancouver recipients

Mail coming from external senders to the Vancouver campus must have the recipient name, the department name, the building address, the city, and the postal code on the label. The following format should be used:

John Smith
Campus Mailing Services
2329 West Mall
Vancouver, BC V6T 1Z4

The building name itself (i.e. University Services Building) is optional as each building has a unique address.

Mail addressed to off-campus recipients

All mail being addressed to off-campus recipients must comply with the addressing guidelines of Canada Post. These can be found on Canada Post’s website.
