Centers' Mail

Mailing to Center from Campus:

If you have materials that need to be mailed to any University Center, simply package and label as usual - Center location, Mailstop (and contact if required). Use interoffice mail or drop at Mail Services (there will be no additional "drop sites"). From small envelopes to boxes of catalogues - Mail Services will repackage if necessary and mail the materials appropriately. USPS items usually arrive the next day (in Washington State) with emphasis on "usually". If your materials need faster service (or are significant in weight), Mail Services will FedEx the shipment depending on need.

Mailing from Centers to Campus or other Centers:

Each University Center already uses USPS via the community college mailing services. In cases where materials are needed immediately or cannot be sent via USPS, the Centers are equipped with materials and trained staff to use the FedEx shipment system. Faculty and service staff will communicate with office staff on their shipping needs.

Courier Service:

Courier Service is available on an as-needed basis. Please contact Lee Davis at davisl@cwu.edu to schedule this service, or if you have any questions about mailing to and from the Centers.

Delivery and Pickup Schedules:

Mail is delivered to each building twice daily. Mail is delivered to Barge and Mitchell three times daily: at about 9:30am, 1:15pm, and 2:45pm. Outgoing mail is picked up at delivery time and will usually go out the same day if we receive it before 4pm. If you have large quantities of outgoing mail, call us so we can make arrangements to accommodate you.

How to Prepare Mailings:

• Identify mail with a complete return address, being sure to specify your office or department name.
• If you are using your own design we strongly encourage you to check with us first to make sure it fits postal regulations, and to help you determine the best way to mail it.
• All domestic and first class letter-sized mail pieces must bear the endorsement "address service requested".
• For large quantities of letters:
  • Sort in zip code order by in- and out-of-state, Ellensburg, and foreign
  • Bundle stacks of mail
  • Overlap flaps

Postage Charges:

Postage is charged for services that are more expensive than the cheapest available, for grant or self-support budgets, and for bulk mailings. We generally bill at the end of each month.

To track First Class/Desk Top charges, provide a blue mailing worksheet. You may ask for it back if you need to know specific charges for a given mailing.
