Mail Services provides central receiving and distribution of incoming mail and parcels from the U.S. Postal Service (USPS), FedEx, UPS, DHL, inter-office mail, etc.  Mail should be addressed to: 

Your Department Name

Mail is delivered to employee’s desks normally on the same day received.

Oversized packages may be held in Mail Services in the 1111 Franklin Lobby and you will receive a notification to pick up your package during operating hours.

Outgoing Mail:

Mail Services facilitates delivery of standard USPS and inter-office outgoing mail which must be received in the Franklin Lobby mail room before 4:30 p.m. daily.  Please note that large mailings will require processing time.

All outgoing mail must contain valid four-digit mail codes (also called “billing number”) in the return address area so that postage is charged to the appropriate account (with the exception of “campus mail” to UC Press, UC Berkeley, UC Davis, or Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory). If you do not know your mail code/billing number, contact mailroom@ucop.edu for information.

Express Outgoing Mail:

Mail Services provides outgoing expedited parcel shipment through our preferred provider, UPS.  Drop boxes for UPS shipments are located in the mailroom.  Contact Mail Services for the appropriate forms.  Other express services such as Fed-Ex, USPS, DHL etc. are not preferred providers, but parcels may be dropped off for processing by Mail Services. Outgoing express mail must be received in the mailroom by 4:30 p.m. each day.

Franklin-Broadway Campus Pick-up and Drop-off:

Each floor in the Franklin-Broadway Campus contains two locations, typically near the two large copier rooms, where mail can be picked up for processing by the mailroom.  Mail and packages can also be delivered directly to the mailroom in the Franklin Lobby.

Personal Mail

UC mail services are for official university business and draw on limited university funding. It is prohibited to send or receive personal mail through UCOP mail services.  That includes monthly bills, merchandise packages, and correspondence unrelated to university business.  The university is also not liable for damages to or theft of personal mail being delivered to UCOP.
