What is 1st Class Bulk Mailing? When would I use Bulk Mailing?

The term “Bulk Mail” refers to specific minimum quantities of mail that are prepared as a specific class of mail. First-Class Mail requires a minimum of 500 pieces for each mailing. Bulk Mailing is used for large mailings when a mail piece cannot be processed through our mail meter. If your mail piece has a gloss to it the postage will smear when run through our meter. If you plan to send a glossy mail piece you will need to have our 1st class indicia printed on the item at the time of printing. To help you in processing 1st class bulk mailings please use the following guidelines:

  1. We need to have at least a 2-day advance notice for 1st Class Bulk Mailings so that we have time to process the paperwork and be sure that there is enough funding in our USPS account at the Norton P.O. to cover the cost of the mailing. Please send an e-mail to James Gortze at [email protected] stating the amount of pieces and the intended date of mailing.
  2. International must be separate from domestic.
  3. If there are not 500 International pieces then you will need to purchase stamps with your Procard (glossy postcards will not go through the mail meter without smudging). You will then have to put the stamps on prior to bringing the pieces to Campus Mail to be sent out.
  4. Mail is delivered to the Norton Post Office at 9:15 am when we pick up the incoming USPS mail. Any other deliveries require special arrangements be made and approved to meet Physical Plant schedules.

Anytime you are planning a large mailing please touch base with us. We are happy to help you plan your mailing to meet the most efficient and economical means of delivery.

Can I buy stamps at Campus Mail Services?

No. You can purchase stamps at the Norton Post Office, located on campus at 6 Taunton Ave.

When does outgoing mail leave the Campus Mail Room?

Mail is delivered to the Norton Post Office at 9:15 am when we pick up the incoming USPS mail. Any other deliveries require special arrangements be made and approved to meet Physical Plant schedules.

What time does FedEx pick-up outbound packages?

Can I ship a personal package via FedEx or UPS?
