Administrative Offices receive delivery once a day. At that time, the outgoing mail will also be picked up. To help facilitate getting your mail processed in a timely fashion, we ask that your outgoing mail be prepared as follows:

• Please have all mail facing in the same direction.
  
• Please have the flaps up if they have to be sealed.
  
• Separate your outgoing meter mail as follows:
  - domestic (within the U.S.)
  - Canada
  - Mexico
  - all other foreign mail
  
• Keep inter-campus and outgoing stamped mail separate from metered mail.
  Please separate all mail requiring special service (i.e. Certified, Insured, Registered, Overnight, etc.).
  
• Please make sure your department name is on the envelope. We use this information if a question arises concerning that particular piece of mail.
  
• Please write legibly to avoid delays in your mail delivery.
  
• Letters to students need to have a class year.
  
• Letters to faculty, administrators or staff need the recipient's department.
  
• If your department uses more than one account number, please be sure to attach the appropriate Record of Mailing & Postage Allocated form indicating which account the postage is to be charged to.
  
• International mail larger than a business-size envelope must have a customs form attached. If less than one pound, use the one-part green and white form. For items over a pound, use the white multi-copy form. These forms are available in the Skidmore Post Office and will be sent to your office upon request.
