Payments for Postage and Other Services

All postage is charged back to your department account number. Your department account number should appear on your envelopes; if it is not preprinted on your envelopes you should place your department account number manually on the envelope. Also, any "special" account numbers to be charged must be placed manually on your envelopes. UPS, DHL, U.S.P.S. Express and FedEx charges, unless otherwise specified, will be charged to your department account number.

Scheduling Large Mailings

Before a large mailing gets too far into the planning stage, you should consider including the Mailing Services Supervisor in your discussions. We can help ensure your mailing gets done in a cost effective, efficient and timely manner.

Advance notice is needed to handle and process large first class mailings effectively. Large mailings are normally considered to have 1,000 or more pieces or to have some unusual addressing, size, weight, or other factor associated with it. We ask for at least 24 hours advance notice to ensure we have the following items available:

1. Sufficient labor to process the mailing
2. Sufficient postage on deposit with the Postal Service or in meter systems.

If you are not sure of how to prepare or handle a mailing of 1,000 or more pieces, please contact the Mailing Services Supervisor. We want to help!

Mail trays are available for your use; call the Mail Center and we will provide them for you.

Personal Mail

As a courtesy, personal mail is handled along with University mail. You may deposit your personal mail in an "Out" basket located in your department. Outgoing personal mail should be sealed and must have the proper postage affixed prior to depositing with University mails. While we will be glad to help you determine the correct amount of postage, we cannot apply metered postage to personal mail. Personal mail is delivered to the Post Office with the University's mail. We are unable to make any special tripswo the Postal Service to deliver personal mail.
