The following tips can help ensure that your outgoing mail is processed accurately and efficiently:

  • Prepare your daily outgoing mail and place it in or around your department before the final pick-up time at your departmental mail room. This can include prepaid labels for USPS, UPS, and FedEx.
  • If you miss the last pick-up time, bring your mail to our office in the Harre Union across from BB’s by 2:45 p.m. so it can go out with the 3:00 p.m. mail pick-up.
  • Make your mail pieces consistent:
    • All pieces should face the same direction.
    • Position the flaps all down if the envelopes are not sealed.
    • Do not mix envelopes with up and down flaps.
    • If you are sealing the envelopes, make sure they are all sealed.
  • Include a Domestic/International mail form for outgoing departmental mail and package. 
  • Separate international mail from domestic mail.
