Mailing Packages

Things to be aware of when mailing:

1. Any domestic mail over 13 oz. is automatically priority if sending by air, so please do not stamp 1st class on them.

2. Do not stamp air mail on domestic mail.

3. All packages containing anything other than papers to International countries need custom forms. Green if 4 lbs. & under, white if over 4 lbs.

4. Classify what type of service for each piece of mail when sent with student workers.

5. Make sure that there is a complete name or a dept. & a proper return address on all mail, and that they are sorted into the following categories:
     a. BYUH campus mail & TVA.
     b. Laie address
     c. All United States including the rest of Hawaii.
     d. All International by countries.

6. If dept. has more than one account, please specify which one to charge postage to.

7. If you need to return a parcel to sender that you have already opened, the postage will be charged to you, or, to your account if it’s a department, and it needs to be addressed properly. However, if it hasn’t been opened there is no charge and you don’t need to readdress it, just write refused and return it to us.

8. Please make sure everything is taped, sealed and addressed properly before sending it in.

9. If reusing an old box or an envelope please make sure that any writings or bar code on it are crossed off completely with a permanent black marker.

10. Do not use regular priority envelopes or boxes for International mail. However we do have global priority envelopes, and boxes for certain International countries. Not all countries qualify for global priority service, so please check first with the workers at the window.

11. To avoid returned mail for more postage I suggest that you bring your piece of mail in to be weighed first before putting stamps on it.
