UCF Departments
UCF Employees can refer to the UCF Postal Guide for any questions regarding incoming or outgoing mail. Feel free to e-mail us with any questions! Here are some links to the forms and information described in the manual:
Incoming Mail
Over the course of a typical year, UCF Postal Services unload, sort, and deliver over one million pieces of inbound mail from the USPS. We strive to have all mail sorted, binned, loaded, and on its way to departments no later than 10:30 a.m. each day. On occasion, when unusually large volumes of mail have been received, there will be a slightly later start time for campus deliveries. Mondays tend to be busier than other days due to weekend mail volumes.
Our campus delivery routes take about two to three hours, depending on the day’s volume, allowing us time to process your outgoing mail by no later than 1:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. The items we bring back from our runs are separated into two groups, outgoing mail to be metered and inter-office mail. For outgoing mail, we have two high-speed metering machines and we handle roughly 800,000 pieces outbound each year. In addition to incoming and outgoing mail, we also distribute printed materials to the main campus faculty and staff.
Outbound Mail
UCF Postal Services charges a nominal handling fee per piece of mail processed to offset the cost of our metering equipment. Many departments have leased their own meters over the years only to find that they are paying more in the long run. For example, if you are paying $2,000 per year for a meter lease, you would need to process 100,000 first class letters before you would see savings compared to what you would have paid through UCF Postal Services. Plus, we do all of the work!
