Mail Center Services

A minimum of 200 pieces is required.
The pieces must be identical in size, weight, and content. No personal messages can be added. The only difference in the pieces should be the address.
The department name and the Lee College return address must be on each piece.
Depending on the amount of pieces, the usual turnaround is 24 to 72 hours. This will allow sufficient time for the mail to be sorted and checked for errors.
Let the mailroom know about the mailing ahead of time.
A nonprofit permit imprint must be in the upper right hand corner and must be legible. It can be preprinted, or, you can hand stamp each envelope by using the rubber stamp available in the Mail Room.
Bulk mail is for domestic use only. Foreign mail cannot be included; Mexico and Canada are considered foreign.
The Mail Room equipment will seal size #10 letter envelopes if the flaps are left up. Larger envelopes must be pre-sealed.
Envelopes must be in zip code order, all five digits, lowest number in front to highest in back.
Make a list of all zip codes and the amount of mail that is going to each zip code. A total piece count should be delivered to the Mail Room with your mailing.
Plan ahead. Bulk mailings take several days longer to get in the system.

Once the bulk mail is processed by the Mail Room, a copy of the completed form will be placed in your mailbox. Then it is the responsibility of the requestor of the bulk mail to use the completed form to start the requisition process. Remember, the usual turnaround for the Mail Room is 24 to 72 hours. This does NOT include the requisition process for payment of the bulk mail which must be completed before the bulk mail can be sent to the post office. The turnaround for the requisition process will be 48 to 72 hours as well. The bulk mail will not be sent to the post office without a check issued by Lee College. There is no account at the post office for bulk mail use. If other arrangements have been made for payment, we still must have payment in hand before the bulk mail will be sent to the post office.
