Mail Services delivers the mail (First Class mail, small packages, memos, and interdepartmental mail) at least once a day, but some departments will receive two deliveries. The times vary from location to location and can also be affected by late receipt from either of the two Post Offices which serve the University.
The Sawyer Mail Services receives mail from the USPS at approximately 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. and finishes sorting by 10:30. Deliveries begin on or before 11:00* to all departments served. By 1:30 p.m., there is a bag exchange between Sawyer, Donahue and Sargent Hall. At 2:00 p.m., deliveries are made to 73 Tremont and 20 Ashburton. At 3:00 deliveries are made to the fourth, sixth, and eighth floors of the Sawyer Building and a sweep is done for the remaining departments.
