Care Packages

Can I order a care package for someone who does not live on campus?

Yes, we will coordinate with the student via their @huskers.unl.edu email address, which you will be asked to provide when you place an order. They will be asked to pick up their care package at the Herbie's Market at Cather during their regular business hours.

Do you deliver to students living off campus?

No, we do not deliver to off-campus residences or Fraternity and Sorority Life chapter facilities. The list of on-campus residence halls can be found on the University Housing website.

How will a student know their Care Package has been delivered to pick it up?

Students will be notified of delivery via their @huskers.unl.edu email address from housing@unl.edu. They should monitor their email for package notices or check their front desk for care package deliveries.

How early should I place an order?

We ask for a minimum of ten (10) business days between the date your order is placed and when you would like it to be delivered. This provides our team ample time to prepare your order and get it to the recipient in a timely fashion.

What happens if I order a combo plan and my student moves out of the residence halls mid-year?

Students who move out of the residence halls can pick up their care packages at Herbie’s Market at Willa Cather Dining Center. No care package plan refunds will be issued if students move out of the residence halls.

If I have questions/concerns about care packages, who can I contact?

Send a message to carepackages@unl.edu.

How quickly do you deliver Get Well Soon care packages?

We do not require 10 business days for the Get Well Soon care packages, but please note that we are unable to fulfill orders outside of normal business hours: 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday–Friday.
