OFF CAMPUS MAIL
PREPARATION We do not sell stamps for personal use nor will
we pick up stamps at the post office for staff or students.
Please help the Campus Mail Service keep delivery timely by following
these procedures when preparing your outgoing mail.
- Bundle all international letters separately from U.S. Mail
- Bundle all stamped and prepaid envelopes separate from mail to
be processed.
- Bundle non-stamped mail. Make sure the appropriate department
charge-back account bar-code is attached.
- Make sure all mail in a bundle is facing the same direction.
- Please shingle (flaps up) letters that need to be sealed.
The Post Office no longer furnishes rubber bands to businesses. All
bulk mailings that are flats must still be banded by rubber bands and
they must be size 64. These are 3 1/2" X 1/4". We can no longer provide
these for the departments and we ask that you send any extra rubber
bands back to the mail center for re use.
The postage machine will seal all regular size envelopes (#10, 9, 6
3/4) which have a dovetail seal. To seal, the flaps must be shingled,
that is each flap should extend over the flap of the preceding envelope.
Our meter will not seal 6x9 or 9x12 envelopes with the flap on the short
side.
If sending out a large mailing,(1000 + pieces) please call ahead so
we can make plans to pick it up early to insure quick processing. We
pick up mail from each department once a day and will not return for
outgoing mail except for special billings or mailings too large to be
taken to the 3:00 pick-up locations. |
