General Policies

Receipt of Business Mail at 91社区
The United States Postal Service does not deliver business mail to our campus. Instead, Distribution Services picks up 91社区 mail in the early morning of each campus business day. After receipt at our facility,听our team processes the mail by sorting and casing to the appropriate mailroom stop. While it is our goal to sort all mail pieces for the first delivery, when volumes are excessive, we may make a priority to sort and deliver all business mail (USPS Express Mail, first听class and business reply) and deliver advertising mail later in the day.

Standardized Address Elements
In order to efficiently handle deliveries to more than 1,300 faculty and support staff of the various Colleges and Departments on our campus, it important that we follow standard addressing criteria. Generally this requires providing senders with the following address elements and requesting that they utilize these for all orders, subscriptions, bills or correspondence. By utilizing these standards, we can delivery your mail without unnecessary delay.

Line #1 = Name (as it is registered in 91社区 email directory)
Line #2 = College / Department Name (of mailroom you desire to have mail directed)
Line #3 = 8600 University Boulevard
Line #4 = Evansville, IN 47712听

It is likewise critical that staff and faculty manage their office location within the email system. The email system information is utilized as a last resort to facilitate the delivery of mail. In addition, staff and faculty are encouraged to notify senders whenever there is a change in their college or department location. Without proper notification of these changes, the sender will continue using the old information, and your mail could be incorrectly delivered.

It is our policy that undeliverable first class mail pieces and undeliverable packages and parcels be tendered to 91社区 Business Offices to determine disposition.

Metering of Postage
College or department mail that requires metering with 91社区 funds should be grouped together and separated from loose stamped mail. These pieces can be included with other mailroom matter. Contact us if you have a large mailing, as we can provide trays for such matter.

Following mailroom collection of outgoing mail (morning and afternoon), 91社区 Distribution Services meters postage to all 91社区 mail pieces that are:

1. enclosed in a 91社区 envelope and
2. has the proper account (fund/org) denoted on the mail-piece.

The proper account information is essential, as it is utilized to track and charge-back postage to the appropriate department.听

Collection of Personal Mail
Personal correspondence or business mail can be included with the outgoing mail from each mailroom. However, such pieces must have postage (stamps) affixed. Stamps can be obtained from the 91社区 Campus Store or from other local retail outlets.

Personal Packages and Parcels
As a courtesy to employees and students, 91社区 Distribution Services will accept properly prepared and pre-paid shipments of packages and parcels shipped via UPS and USPS. However, due to liability issues, such shipments must be tendered to our department which is located in the Support Services building. Such packages should not be included with campus mailroom materials.

Inbound Shipments
When placing orders or arranging shipments via UPS, Federal Express or Motor Freight,听do not elect "inside delivery" services nor request delivery to any location other than Distribution Services. For security purposes all inbound shipments to our campus must be directed to Distribution Services (exceptions being 91社区 Campus Store and students residing on campus). When specialized or "inside delivery" is required, a written request should be provided to 91社区 Public Safety and Distribution Services.

Mail and Shipment Security and Safety
91社区 Distribution Services, in conjunction with 91社区 Public Safety; reserves the right to open and or likewise examine any suspicious inbound or outbound mail, package, parcel or shipment. Such practices are similar to those utilized by other state and federal agencies. If you are in receipt of suspicious matter, please contact 91社区 Public Safety.
