Based at the King's Meadow Campus the Mailroom processes all mail for the University (around 70,000 - 90,000 items per week). If Mail shots / Bulk Mail is to be sent then please telephone the Post Room at least 3 days in advance to book a collection. Our trained staff are also available to offer advice and help on all postal matters.

Recorded & Special Delivery Mail, what do I need to do?

For Recorded Delivery Mail (signed for) you will need to write 'Recorded' in the top left hand corner. If you require a timed delivery within the UK then write 'RMSD' (Royal Mail Special Delivery) in the top left hand corner. This is then sorted and routed appropriately in the Post Room.

Overseas Mail, what do I need to do?

Mail for overseas destinations is sent via Airmail, you will need to address the letter / parcel as normal and put it in your outgoing external mail, this is then sorted and routed appropriately in the Post Room. The Post Room will send it via the most cost effective and efficient carrier.

Mail Shots, what do I need to do to send one?

The University Post Room is able to process Mail Shots, but we do, however, require 3 days notice in advance of the collection date, so that we can ensure that we can process your mail effectively. You will need to provide us with details, including: your school / department for the collection, account code for charges, quantity of bags (all of which must weigh less than 11kg's for safety purposes).
