We have provided a list of over 100 locations along the Appalachian
Trail that will accept mail drops for AT hikers either at the local
post office and/or at a local business. The list below can be used for
planning your own shipments or shipping meals and other goods directly
from Packit Gourmet.com
Shipments to hikers on the Appalachian Trail scheduled for post office general delivery should be addressed as:
YOUR NAME
ATTN: Hold for AT hiker ETA DATE
General Delivery
CITY, ZIP CODE
The post office will hold your package for up to 30 days and can be picked up at the retail window.
*This
list is for informational purposes only and should not be used
exclusively in planning a route or in scheduling food drops along your
trip.
Know of a hotel/outfitter that accepts packages for hikers that is not
included on our list? Let us know! Send us an email at
trailfood@packitgourmet.com with the location's contact information and
(if it checks out) we'll add it to the list.
Why send a package to a hotel/outfitter rather than the post office?
The
post office has standard business hours during the week and is closed
on Sunday. If you think you might need to pick up a package during a
time when the post office will be closed, you may want to consider
shipping it to an outfitter or hotel that accepts packages.
How do I let Packit Gourmet know where I'd like to receive my package when shipping to the AT, CDT, etc.?
When
placing your order you'll be able to enter a billing and a shipping
address. Enter your home address in the billing area and the trail
address in the shipping area.
If receiving your package at a post office, please enter the following information as the shipping address:
