Express Mail provides for the shipment of letters, documents and other mailable items and carries document reconstruction insurance at no additional cost. Before using this service, it is recommended that you check with the Mail Center to insure that the address of the addressee is guaranteed for next day service. Domestic Overnight Delivery is guaranteed by the U. S. Postal Service and provides for a full postage refund if the item is not delivered on time. International deliveries vary by country of destination. No guarantees are offered by the U. S. Postal Service since they have no control over foreign delivery systems, hence there is no provision for refund.
Most items are mailable to foreign countries.
However, there are certain restrictions. It is of the utmost importance that departments contact the Mail Center when sending international mail to determine the proper classification and documentation required for customs declarations. If custom regulations are not followed and documentation is not exact, the item will be impounded by customs until the addressee makes arrangements for clearance and the payment of whatever duties are required for the release of the item. The Mail Center contracts with an international mail forwarding service to handle international mail. Mail forwarding provides rates lower than the U. S. Postal service rates, and faster delivery time.
