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.

PACKAGE DELIVERY

It is the policy of the Campus Mail Services to obtain a signature when delivering packages. In some cases, the person delivering packages will release the package without a signature at the discretion of Mail Services.

Please note:

• Campus Mail Services does not have the equipment to deliver packages weighing more than 25 lbs. Departments receiving such packages will be notified by Mail Services and are responsible for arranging delivery through the Facilities Department.
• Mail Services will not be responsible for personal packages; it is the responsibility of the recipient to pick up their packages. Please note, Mail Services will not deliver these packages.
• Mail Services does not deliver any computer equipment. Due to the size and cost of computer equipment we ask that your department pick it up promptly.

* These times are subject to change on days when the mail delivery from U.S.P.S. is late, mail volume is heavy, a day after a holiday or the day after an official school closing.
