SUBJECT: Federal Express Update #2
PLEASE NOTE: This Notice excludes those departments which utilize the
UCSD Medical Center Mail Services.
Mail Services began campus pick-up and processing of Federal Express
packages on March 1, 1993. This program was designed to streamline
the Federal Express service on campus and reduce costs by utilizing
the Planned Purchasing Agreement pricing. It has been a success and
we want to thank you for the business. This notice is intended as a
reminder and an up-date, regarding how to use the new service.
GUIDELINES FOR USING FEDERAL EXPRESS:
Mark your envelope or package with the type of service, Priority
One overnight ($8.00) or Standard overnight service ($6.00 for
half pound or less) along with your index number in the upper
right hand corner. Leave in mail pick-up location with regular
outgoing mail.
A. Mail Services will accept third party billing items.
B. The deadline for processing is 4:15 p.m.
C. Federal Express will not accept any item with a P.O. Box
as part of the address.
D. Any item destined for Alaska or Hawaii will be charged an
additional $10.00 for "fuel costs."
E. If Federal Express has to correct the delivery address,
they will charge an additional $5.00 for "Address
             Correction."
Departments that presently use UCSD Shipping at 8655 Production Avenue
for processing Federal Express items, should now utilize Mail
Services. However, the following types of shipments are exceptions
and should continue to be processed through the UCSD Shipping
Department and be accompanied by a UCSD Shipping memo:
(1) Hazardous Goods Shipments
(2) Dry Ice Shipments
(3) Dutiable Shipments (International)
(4) Items weighing over 70 pounds
REMINDER!

Federal Express has agreed to deliver your "PRIORITY 1" incoming
items directly to your office if the address contains all of the
following information:
Addressee Name
Department Name, Phone #, Mail Code
Room #, Building Name
