Mail Services

University Mail Services restricts collection/distribution to mail items only. Freight, supplies, records, etc. are handled by Central Warehouse.

USPS in-bound mail and internally generated mail are sorted by 10 a.m.  Departure for mail delivery to the departments is at 10:30 a.m., residence halls are serviced after 1 p.m.

USPS out-bound mail requiring postage is processed for pick-up by the USPS at 2:30 p.m.

Residence Halls/Student Mail – UMS delivers USPS, UPS, Fed-Ex, mail and UConn-generated student mail to residence hall mailrooms Monday – Friday afternoons. US Postal Express mail packages due for delivery on Saturdays will not be delivered until Monday. Students who would like to pick up Express Mail Packages on Saturdays from the Storrs Post Office should call the Post Office at 860-429-9681 on Saturdays between 8 – 9:30am to have them hold it aside for pickup. UMS is the "Agent" for the University and scans all trackable mail before delivering to the Student Residence Hall Mailrooms. Any mail that have been delivered to "Agent" after 11am is processed the next business day. An automatic email is generated once your package has been scanned from your mailroom to be picked-up. (No email notification is sent for mail that is placed into your mailbox.)

PLEASE NOTE: Due to higher volume of incoming mail at the beginning of each semester (2 - 4 weeks), mail is delayed 2 - 3 business days from notice of agency (via: UPS, USPS, FedEx, etc.).
