UPS & USPS

UPS

UPS is closed out every day at 3:30 p.m.!

All UPS packages must be received by Printing & Postal Services by 3:30 pm in order to be shipped out that day. United Parcel Services (UPS) delivers parcels and documents to all street addresses in the United States and many foreign countries. Packages addressed to P.O. boxes must include the telephone number of the recipient.

Departments have a choice of shipping methods such as ground services, 2nd day air, and next day air. Shipping rates are normally lower and delivery times are quicker than that provided by the U.S. Postal Service.

The first $100 of insurance is included in the shipping charges. Additional insurance may be purchased for $.35 per $100 up to a maximum limit of $5,000. The maximum weight for a parcel to be shipped via U.P.S. is 150 pounds, and the maximum size per package is 130 inches in length and girth combined.

• All special packaging must be handled by the person shipping the item.
• No Hazardous materials may be shipped through the Printing & Postal Services.

USPS

When sending out a departmental package it is imperative that you specify a carrier and/or a specific service. We use two main carriers for packages through the Postal Services. UPS and the United States Postal Service (USPS) are the only carriers used to send out your packages through our department. The cost of sending out packages depends on the weight, destination, bulk and service. (I.e. Next day Air, Express…etc) We will send out your package at the lowest possible rate unless you specify otherwise. We usually send out packages through the USPS if no specific directions are attached to the package.
