With all the advances in Internet technology, e-commerce, and e-mail, it is interesting to note that Mail Services still processes over 17 million pieces of mail for SDSU each year. In fact, we've been recognized by the CSU for Best Business Practice for a hand-sort mailroom. Our success is credited to you for using campus mail codes on your envelopes. This has helped considerably in reducing misdirected and missorted mail, and for speeding things up. -In the near future, Mail Services will acquire high speed, automated mail sorting equipment. Utilizing this technology, mail codes will be replaced by barcodes, read by an OCR scanner, and sorted to the appropriate route.

As an educational institution, did you know that your mailings may qualify for Non-Profit Bulk Rate. The cost reduction can be between 15¢-20¢ per piece depending on Zip Codes and weight, as compared to First Class. On large mailings, this adds up to a substantial savings, especially for departments with limited budgets. -If you have a mailing to produce and would like to learn ways of reducing your cost, please contact us. You'll find informational tips on our web site, or you can give us a call.
