Mailing Services: IINTER-OFFICE MAIL

Inter-Office Mail

There are a variety of inter-office envelopes through Corporate Express. If you need a Corporate Express catalog please call 1-800-270-9711. These envelopes are designed to be reused. However, all previous address should be crossed off completely before being placed in the outgoing mail. Inter-office mailings should never be placed in white university stationary or plain manila envelopes. This practice can result in the pieces being metered (at the department's expense). If the pieces are sent to the Post Office, they usually end up in the dead letter office. In order to avoid these risks please use the appropriate envelope for inter-office mail.

Inter-office mail pieces should include the addresseee's department name and campus location, either LC oir LPC. If the sender wishes to direct the piece to a specific person, then that person's name should also be included. If a piece is improperly addressed, and therefore undeliverable, the piece will be returned to the sender. If there is no return address, Mailing Services will examine the contents to determine where to return it.

Inter-office mail which is addressed and legibly and properly will be delivered with the next scheduled delivery.

The Department of Mailing Services will pick up and deliver mail and small packages on the regularly scheduled delivery routes. If you have boxes or packages larger than 5 lb., please contact the Mailing Services department Receiving Clerk at the appropriate campus to make arrangements for pick-up and delivery of these items. (At Loop Campus, call ext. 8367, Lincoln Park ext. 6732.)
