Further Clarification
Room numbers are not helpful for delivery. The employee’s name and the department they work for are the necessary criteria for delivery. (A name will assist the receiving department in faster processing.)
Regardless of the amount of mail going out (1 piece, 5 pieces, or full department mailers) the mail is to be grouped by rubber band, bundled, or placed in envelopes and minimally addressed to the department.
Mailings will be returned to the department for proper bundling before it is to be distributed. Postcards with a glossy finish will require the departments to be bundled in groups via rubber bands. Paper clips will not sufficiently hold the bundles. The groups do not need to be in alphabetical order however, they must be grouped by departmental name.
CMS does not sort by recipient name, building name, or room number.
All department mailings, whether they are outgoing business mail or intercampus mailings, are to be prepared by the department. CMS is not responsible for stuffing business envelopes, nor the addressing and bundling of outgoing or intercampus mail. While we bundle and sort incoming business mail, we do not receive loose mail for interoffice processing.
Intercampus mailings can be arranged for a pick-up from your location or you may bring the mailing to our location in the University Union building, Room B60, between 7 a.m. - 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.
Our staff distribute large mailings with the daily incoming mail for departments.
SELF-SERVICE SHIPPING KIOSK
The mail pick up lobby has a self service shipping kiosk for use. Only credit cards are accepted. The user must bring the package in a box or mail envelope ready to ship. Once a package has the mailing label affixed it can be left with a mail clerk at the window or in the drop box on the wall to the left of the kiosk. Rate shopping is available. It is the users responsibility to use the correct packaging. Majority of items will ship USPS at the lowest rate. There is a fee for this service added to the postage cost. To avoid fees, utilize or preparing your package at your own location.
