Mail Delivery
All deliveries are made to a central location within each building. Carriers are not obligated to take items to specific department offices unless the item(s) require a signature or are too heavy and require the use of a hand truck. Carriers are not to be instructed by department personnel to take mail or parcels to other locations.
Mail Services cannot be used to distribute non-US Mail of promotional materials to University addresses. State agencies are prohibited from providing businesses with mailing lists of employees for the distribution of promotional materials through Mail Services.
To ensure that mailings go out day of, please have materials in your buildings central mail room by 10AM, or dropped off to Mail Services in UC129 by 1PM.
Personal Use of Mail Services
Employees should not use UM Mail Services for personal mail or mail of non-University of Montana organizations. This service is staffed to handle only official University correspondence; its use for other purposes slows down delivery of official mail. While the Mail Services staff does not ordinarily inspect individual letters and packages for conformance to this policy, they are required to call to the attention of proper authorities for any apparent violations.
Personal mail will be picked up with all other classes of mail if it has stamps on it, is sealed, and is banded separately.
