    Residence Halls
    • UF Mail Services provides delivery of mail and packages to the residence halls as a service sponsored by the Department of Housing & Residence Life. Mail is delivered daily Monday through Saturday, except on University holidays. Our dedicated associates deliver mail to the students’ assigned mail boxes and packages to the area desk in the respective commons area or at locker locations in the residence hall. Packages may be picked up from the area desk by the addressee with a picture ID. Mail addressed to a student not listed as a residence hall resident will be returned to the sender. For this reason mail should not be addressed to residents using nicknames or fictitious names.

    Processing of Outgoing Mail
    • The outgoing mail is returned to the Mail Facility on Radio Road as part of the delivery process. The mail is separated and classified as either presort, international or regular mail prior to metering. The amount of postage on the regular mail is determined by the size and weight of the mail piece(s). All mail that is to be processed must have a completed and signed mail slip that identifies the department, the chartfield, and the type of postage to apply (such as First Class, Priority, Express, return receipt, etc.). The actual cost of the postage is accumulated in the postage meter software and transmitted to PeopleSoft and charged to the department on a monthly basis.

    International Mail

    • How to Prepare Your Outgoing International USPS Mail

      All mail sent internationally should be accompanied by a completed department mail slip and must be kept separate from all other mail. International mail that is not kept separate from mail traveling to U.S. destinations could result in having that mail be processed in the wrong classification and will most likely receive incorrect postage.

      When shipping overseas, you generally need a customs form for all international mail.* What form you need depends on the service you’re using and the declared value of your mail.

      *You do not need a customs form for either First-Class Mail International® items or Priority Mail International Flat Rate™ Envelopes if they weigh less than 16 oz, are no more than 3/4″ thick, and contain only documents.

      Complete your customs form using the USPS online tool.

      Also, be aware of any restrictions and prohibitions for the country in which you are mailing. Use this link to find the destination country’s prohibitions, restrictions, observations, required customs forms, areas served, etc.
      http://pe.usps.com/text/imm/immctry.htm

      When addressing your mail, the last line of the address should contain only the name of the destination country spelled in English, ALL CAPITAL LETTERS, with no abbreviation. Contact Mail Services at 352-392-0629 or email: UFShipping@admin.ufl.edu if you have any questions on how to prepare your outgoing international mail.
