We also pick up internal and external mail that is ready to be delivered or stamped. Time of arrival to individual departments will be consistent on a day to day basis. Mail will leave Physical Plant no later than 11:00 am daily.<\/p>\n<p>Any internal mail picked up will be delivered the next business day. If urgent we advise staff\/faculty to drop off internal mail to the Physical Plant.<\/p>\n<p>To avoid possible mishandling of internal mail, cross off the previous receiver\/location of mail on the internal envelopes. Then make your entry below it or the next column of page if applicable, in clear writing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>EXTERNAL MAILOUT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To ensure that your mail gets to its desired location, please make sure labels and printing is legible. We also advise to have on the top left corner a return address as this helps us with returning your mail if it is returned to campus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Example Return Address:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Name,<br \/>\nDepartment Name<br \/>\nBrandon University<br \/>\n270 &#8211; 18th Street,<br \/>\nBrandon, Manitoba,<br \/>\nR7A 6A9<\/p>\n<p>To avoid any errors with mailouts, mail services will only be responsible for placing the correct postage for external mail.<\/p>\n<p>We request that you separate all Canada, U.S.A., and International mail individually to help the mail room with postage costs as charges are different for each destination.<\/p>\n<p>Brandon University mail services is equipped to handle bulk mailouts, but we please ask that you give us at least 24 hours notice for larger bulk requests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>MAIL COMING IN<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To ensure there are no delay for delivery of parcels and letters coming into the University, please have your Full Name and Department (or Residence Box #) as part of the complete mailing address.\u00a0\u00a0 Lack of information results in slower delivery times.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DEPARTMENT CHARGES<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By default, the mail room will charge accounts according to department name on the return address unless advised otherwise.\u00a0 Please indicate on external mailings the budget cost center the item is to be charged to.<\/p>\n<p><strong>OVERSIZED MAIL\/PARCEL DELIVERY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Any package weighing more than 500 grams (0.5 kg) will be classified as oversized\/parcel and will require a barcode shipping label that mail services can provide.<\/p>\n<p>By default, mail services will choose the cheapest option for shipping. This will also be the slowest option of delivery due to its cost. A tracking number is available, with extra charges if the receiver is required to sign for the parcel.<\/p>\n<p>If mail\/parcel delivery is time sensitive, please indicate on the package so that our mail services team can inform you of estimated delivery dates for faster delivery services.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PERSONAL MAIL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Personal mail and packages are not to be sent to Brandon University.\u00a0 Due to a smaller mail sorting area, we simply don\u2019t have the manpower or space to handle personal packages.\u00a0 Our team will not deliver or mail out personal packages.\u00a0 The only exception is for those who live in student residence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The Brandon University mail room and shipping\/receiving dock is located on the main floor of Physical Plant (330B 20th street) and is open Monday to Friday 8:00 am &#8211; 4:00 pm.
