According to the U.S. Postal Service, UCI is one of the top 50 mailers in Orange County. Distribution and Document Management processed more than 7 million pieces of mail last year, along with more than 1.6 million pieces of inter-departmental mail and over 2 million ZotMail messages.
Mail carriers make two runs each business day.
During the morning mail run, interdepartmental mail from the previous afternoon is delivered and outgoing mail is picked up. The afternoon delivery includes incoming mail picked up that morning. All campus departments are visited by the mail carriers, who pick up each office's green, blue and white mailbags containing intercampus mail, express mail and regular U.S. mail, respectively. Throughout the day, U.S. Postal Service couriers and private carriers filter into the distribution center to make deliveries, and personnel work at five sorting stations, handling both incoming U.S. and intercampus mail. Three of the sorting stations are identical, containing 45 bins representing the departments receiving the majority of the distributed mail.
