First Class/Priority Mail
- This is a class of mail we use daily.
- Personal letters, bills, postcards, etc. are items which must be sent first class.
- Current rates are available in the Campus Mail Center.
- Average delivery time for First Class/Priority mail is 1-4 days.
Priority Mail packaging is available at the Campus Mail Center next to the service window.
- The Media Mail rate is for books, films, catalogs, records and other educational or cultural materials.
- Average delivery time is 1-10 days.
- Certified mail is used when the sender would like proof that the recipient did in fact receive the letter.
- A signed card can be returned to the sender showing the recipient's signature and date received.
- Certified mail may take a little longer for the addressee to receive than regular First Class mail.
- Delays may occur if the recipient is not available to sign for the letter. The certified letter is held for pickup at the post office for a period of 15 days. If it is not picked up by the recipient within that period of time it is then returned to the sender.
- The Certified mail piece will not be left at a residence.
- The Mail Carrier will leave a note for the recipient.
- Registered Mail is a service provided by the USPS for maximum security when sending valuables through the mail.
- We do not provide this service at the Campus Mail Center.
- The USPS provides insurance on First Class mail packages for a small fee.
- Insured values may be anywhere between $100 and $500.
- Any item insured for more than $500 must be taken to the Post Office -- the campus mail center will not handle those items.
- Keep in mind that Registered Mail and Insured Mail, like Certified Mail may take a little longer because of special handling.
- International Air Mail is available to most countries.
- The country must be written in English on the last line of the address in all capital letters.
- Write or stamp "Air Mail" on the letter or package that is going to an international address.
