Shipping Items



Only 7 days till I board the plane to study in the Holy Land and I am getting very excited, nervous, and kinda stressed. But, all in all I am ready to go. I have my luggage almost all set and books and papers ready, too. Also, I now have my visa from the Israeli Consulate in Chicago, it took them three months to get it processed. So I have had friends and family ask me how to ship items over to JUC. So here is the information to send me goodies from the great US of A.
If you want to have something sent other than using the postal service, please use USPS if at all possible. They know the college and are reliable at making deliveries to our gate. The address to send items via couriers is:

Jacob Solmonson
Jerusalem University College 
Aravnah HaYevosi #3, Mt Zion
91012 Jerusalem Israel
Telephone: 02-671-8628



Remember: all packages received in Israel are subject to duty, although usually the duty is waived. To minimize the chances of incurring duty, please instruct those mailing packages to you to list the contents of the package on the customs tag with the notation “no commercial value” and, if possible, the notation “used items.” All new packaging and price tags should be removed from the items that are included in the package. It is also helpful to keep the size of the package as small as possible. Generally, you will need to pay duty on electrical, computer, video and DVD items received by mail.
