Campus Mail

The mailroom staff processes incoming and outgoing mail, makes deliveries to residence halls and buildings throughout the campus, and handles the production and execution of mailings in one location.

Metered mail

Metered mail uses a barcode to send the mail and bill to the appropriate department. We use the Pitney Bowes Business Manager System. Contact Mailing Services for a barcode. When sending to Mailing Services to process, ensure that mail is accompanied by that barcode (it can be printed on the envelope, a sticker or on a sheet of paper, securely wrapped around the mail or attached to it with tape.

Bulk Mailings

One of the benefits to being affiliated with a print shop is that we can work together to save you money and time! Bulk mailings require special permits, including the use of the University’s non-profit mailer.

departments – Moving on campus?

We understand relocating can be quite a burden and would like to assist you during this transition. Mailing Services can help you in three easy steps to ensure you do not have a disruption of services.

Step 1
Please contact your department’s HR representative or HR directly to let them know about this address change so they can update their records for any intercampus mail.
Step 2
After contacting HR please contact Mailing Services and let Mailing Services know you are changing locations and when. Phone: 581-3760 Email: Mailing-services-group@maine.edu
Step 3
It is up to your department to update contacts outside of the University of your new address. We will do our best to make sure your mail gets to you, but if we cannot for any reason, it will be returned to the sender.

Why does Mailing Services need to know?
Mailing Services needs to be aware that you are moving so we do not continue to deliver your department mail to the incorrect building.
Mailing Services only delivers mail to the address that is provided.
Mailing Services does not have the resources available at this time to be able to forward mail to your new location. That is why it is vital this information be updated with HR. We get all of our campus address information from HR.
What happens if Mailing Services is unaware of this change?
Mailing Services will continue to deliver mail to the building that is on the address. If we are unable to determine where your department is located Mail will be returned to the sender.
