Special
Notice to Staff and Faculty -
We are
asking everyone on campus to use the correct school mailing address so
that we can eliminate the problem of mail being held at the main post
office and in our postal facility as well.
All
incoming mail
should be addressed as follows:
(Your Name)
1100 College Street
*MUW-(Your Box Number)
Columbus, MS 39701-5800
*- The
Box Number is the most important part of the address. Without
this number there is an increase in the time to look up each and every
box number for mail that comes in. This problem causes a delay in
the processing of your incoming mail. We are being asked by the
larger distribution facilities to let everyone know the correct mailing
address.
We are
also still receiving outgoing metered mail that is in the old-style
envelopes. These envelopes are the ones with the large W at the
top of the return address. This design has the return zip code
too low. This causes mail to be marked with out Zip Code
(39701-5800) and returned to us the next day. This is why most
offices on campus have received some pieces of mail back the next day
after shipping them out.
This can
be corrected by placing a blank white address label over the return
address prior to bringing them to the post office.
Thank
you,
Post Office
