Mail Services Rates/Delivery Schedules Clarification

We want to clarify the application of our new rate structure in response to some questions we have received over the last few weeks. The new monthly delivery rate effective April 1, 2004, is $34 per mail code, for one mail delivery per day. If you have chosen to have one mail delivery a day at the $34 monthly rate your mail delivery time will be between 8 am and 11 am. Please refer to our information in Blink http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/mailcodechange for full details on the effect of the rate increase and our once per day delivery policy.

If you receive deliveries twice a day, your afternoon delivery will be between 12 pm and 2 :30 pm at the monthly rate of $68. Any regular or recurring deliveries or pick-ups scheduled after 2:30 pm will be charged at the 3 times per day delivery charge of $102 per month.

We encourage your department to have someone available during the times listed above to accept deliveries and to have your outgoing mail and inter-campus mail separated and ready for pick-up. Any packages or large items for pick-up should be clearly marked for the type of service requested along with a proper index number. For a list of services, please visit our BLINK website at http://blink.ucsd.edu/go/mail. Please refrain from using "sticky notes" or unsecured notes when requesting services as they may be lost or removed during delivery.

Our goal is to continue to improve our services and productivity to ensure timely mail pick up and delivery. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Fred Gomez at (858) 534-1167.
