A few departments hold their own permits. The U.S. Postal Service assigns these permits, but Mailing Service approves the use of each one before it is printed. This is to make sure that everything has been done correctly, says Lou Eichler, CMS manager, because we end up getting involved if it is not correct. The Printing Department checks incoming orders that use a bulk mail permit. We contact Mailing Service for confirmation of the permit and correct any mistakes that are caught.
Some corrections can result in a change in mailing costs.
Your order will progress more quickly and predictably if you obtain the correct information from Mailing Service to begin with. Also be aware that the Printing Department is not responsible for arranging the mailing. Just as you send us a requisition for printing, you must send a requisition to Mailing Service for mailing. Contact Eichler or Janssen for more mailing information. The Printing Department is offering sesquicentennial letterhead and envelopes to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the University.
