Effective March 1, 1993, Mail Services, in agreement with the Federal Express Corporation, will offer Federal Express domestic and international service on "outbound" letters and packages weighing 70 lbs. or less. This new service will eliminate the need to fill out Federal Express freight bills and UCSD Shipping Memos. It is designed to centralize the Federal Express traffic, reduce cost and decrease processing time on outgoing priority items. Departments that presently use UCSD Shipping at 8655 Production Ave. for processing Federal Express packages should now utilize this new service through Mail Services. However, the following types of shipments are exceptions and must continue to be processed through UCSD Shipping and be accompanied by a UCSD Shipping Memo. The exceptions are:
(1). Hazardous Goods Shipments (2). Dry Ice shipments
(3). Dutiable shipments (International) (4). Packages weighing over 70 pounds
TYPE OF SERVICES:
"PRIORITY 1"- Packages are delivered by 10:30 AM the next
business day. Cost is $8.00 for packages up to 2 pounds. "STANDARD"- Packages are delivered by 3:00 PM the next
business day. Cost is $6.00 for up to 1/2 pound. "ECONOMY"- Packages are delivered by the end of the
second business day up to 70 pounds.

BILLING:
Charges for Federal Express outbound shipments using the new program through Mail Services will be reflected on the monthly Mail Services billing statement under "Mail Services - Metered 
Postage". You will not receive individual Federal Express bills.
INCOMING FEDERAL EXPRESS PACKAGES:
In addition to this new service, Federal Express has agreed to deliver your "PRIORITY 1" incoming Federal Express items directly to your office. These items will not go through Mail Services or the Receiving Department. This will save from 1/2 day to a day in delivery time. To make this possible the incoming address should contain the following information:
Addressee Name
Department Name, Phone #, Mail code Room#, Building Name
University of California, San Diego La Jolla, CA 92093
This information is crucial to expedite delivery to campus locations. (Mail codes and names are not sufficient to allow for direct delivery.) Mail Services looks forward to serving the campus customers with your Federal Express needs. If you have any questions, please call x41164.
