Mail Service Guide

Welcome to Mail Services at Ursinus College. Although we are called “Mail Services”, we are more than mail. All shipping and receiving for the college is handled through our department as well.  

This Guide has been prepared as a source for you to obtain the best available service for mail and more! In it, such topics as Campus mail, USPS mail, and shipping & receiving are covered. Other information, basic to your everyday needs, is explained. We hope this will be a useful desk companion for you.

Also, the Mail Services Guide can help you be more efficient and save you money!

The more we know about your needs and concerns, the better we can fulfill them. Let us know your needs in advance; whether there is a special service you require, a large mailing coming up, or if you are sending or receiving something out of the ordinary.

In this Guide, anything titled USPS stands for the United States Postal Service, The Post Office. Should you have a specific question regarding mail, or our other services, we urge you to call Mail Services at extension 2483.
