Central Mail Service Click here to order campus mail envelopes The Central Mail Service staff strives to provide the best possible service by picking up and delivering the inter-campus and USPS mail to you. We ask for your assistance to facilitate fast and accurate handling of a large volume of mail. Inter-Campus and Intra-campus mail When utilizing the reusable envelopes provided by Central Mail Service (order at extension 73133 or 77484), please take the few extra seconds to furnish a complete name and campus address. For example, our carriers may not know where to deliver a piece addressed to "Bill at CUC." Because of the large volume handled, we must set aside mail with incomplete addresses, resulting in a delay at best. Be sure to provide a complete and accurate mailing address to all publishers, vendors, friends, and relatives. Again, incomplete and/or inaccurate addressing will cause a delay in delivering the USPS pieces. We may be unable to deliver pieces that lack sufficient information. Remember, our goal is 100% delivery as fast as possible. We can achieve our goal with your help! As a reminder, the following is a copy of the current central mail service policies.
