Mailroom, Central Stores & Receiving

All incoming US Postal Service Mail is sorted and delivered on campus by Jan Allen who can be reached at 248-1202 or by e-mail jjallen@mesastate.edu. Outgoing US Postal Service mail is picked up from the central mailroom and metered by Mail Managers, an off-campus vendor. The central mailroom also is the designated pick up location for outgoing Federal Express, UPS and other express carriers. The physical receiving and pick up address for Mesa State College is 1175 Texas Avenue, Grand Junction, CO 81501

Daily Mail

Campus mail is delivered and picked up for processing every morning. There is only one pick up of campus mail by Mailroom Personnel; all other outgoing mail must be brought to the mail room no later than 2:15 p.m. in order to be processed the same day. All outgoing mail needs to be stamped with each department's organization code for appropriate billing. Mail Managers provides two daily pickups of outgoing mail to take to their facility for processing. Sorting & Addressing do matter! All envelopes to be sealed should have flaps up to be run through the postage machine and like-sized pieces should be bundled together. Bulk mailings of over 200 pieces of identical mail need to be in zip code sequence and will generally be processed the day following pick up from campus. Automation mail is mail that is machine addressed in a clear, readable font that can be read by an optical character reader in order to determine and apply a certified 11 digit barcode. Addresses in window envelopes must be legible and not shift out of the window area in handling.If envelopes are hand addressed no discount is applied to that piece of mail. Mail Managers invoices Mesa State on a monthly basis, these invoices are processed to charge each department through interdepartmental billing .

Student Mail and Packages

All incoming student mail is sorted and delivered by the United States Postal Service to the individual residence halls. Student packages are delivered to Receiving with all other incoming freight. Once the freight is received it is sorted for each hall and logged for each student. Students can come to the warehouse for package pick up but packages will not be released to anyone without verification of a student ID. During regular college sessions package deliveries are made to all the residence halls (except the Walnut Ridge Apartments) after 3:00 pm and are signed for by the attending RA on duty. Once these packages are delivered and signed for, it is the RA 's responsibility to ensure that those packages are safely delivered to the recipient.
