Outgoing mail, whether metered in the mail room or affixed with stamps, is picked up twice daily, last pickup being 3 p.m. This includes express, certified and priority mail.

Departments must notify the Postal Services by e-mail or call 419-434-4839 of all large mailings containing greater than 1,000 pieces and all bulk mailings not less than one week before it is to be mailed out.

Metered Mail

• Mail sent to the University mail room to be metered must be charged to a university department. The mail must have The University of Findlay return address, and an indication of the department or account to be charged in the upper left hand corner.
• Mark only the top envelope for multiple pieces to be charged to the same budget number.
• Multiple pieces should be bundled together with a rubber band.
• It is very important to separate international mail from domestic mail to be metered. All international mail must indicate the country of destination, in English as the last line in the address.
• The university mail room cannot charge personal accounts for stamps or meter mail services. Using postage purchased with university funds for personal business is strictly prohibited. Postage may be purchased for personal mail.

International Mail

There may be some restrictions when mailing something other than documents to foreign countries. Please contact the Postal Services.
