Whenever possible, postage cost savings will be initiated through the use of special presort Third Class Bulk, Non-Profit mailing and Business Reply rates. Departments returning items to a vendor must present the items to the Receiving Dock along with a completed Outgoing Shipment Form . All mail must have a Zip Code. To obtain a Zip Code, departments may call the U.S. Postal Service Zip Code Line at 375-8148. A five-digit National Zip Code Directory is also available in the Mail Processing Center for purchase by departments.
Departments are responsible for sorting and banding letter-size mail by use of rubber bands.
Due to U. S. Postal regulations, all hand written mail cannot be presorted. Please separate per letter size. A second incident will result in the department being asked to retrieve the mail and correct the problem so that the mail can be accurately processed. The Mail Processing Center provides special mail services to UAMS departments which are considerably more expensive than normal mail services, and their use should be restricted to those times when absolutely essential. Departments requesting special mail services must include an account number or slot number in the return address of the items when delivered to the Mail Processing Center.
