Mailing Tips

Please DO NOT nest outgoing envelopes with flaps up. Business size envelopes (#10s) are machine sealed when postage is affixed.

Incorrect

To expedite mail processing, please separate outgoing mail into three groups:

***Please rubber band each group.***
Campus mail	Stamped mail	Mail to be metered

Clearly address interoffice envelopes by including the first and last name and the department. When using previously used envelopes, please be sure to cross out all old delivery information. This will help ensure proper delivery of interoffice mail.
Use Standard Mail (formerly Bulk Mail) when mailing 200 or more pieces.
Use postcards for short messages or announcements. Postcard cost .24 each as company compared to .39 for an envelope.
***Remember International postcards must be sent in envelopes.***
Screen your mailing list for unnecessary names.
Fold multi-page material and send it in a #10 envelope to save the extra weight and postage of a large "flat."
Request Library and Book rate as much as possible.
To ensure proper departmental chargeback, please include the budget number on the first envelope in each bundle.
When you have a large mailing or oversized boxes, please alert Mailing Services by sending an email.. This will allow us to make appropriate arrangements for pick-up.
