What if I am expecting Express Mail or Certified Mail?

Express Mail and Certified Mail will still be delivered to all departments, daily.

How much has mail declined over the years?

The Campus Mail Services has seen a 62% decline in mail volume over the past four years. Over the past 15 years we’ve seen an overall 78% reduction in mail volume. Priority and express packages have declined 43 percent over the past several years.

What if we are expecting an important letter or package on a non-delivery day?

Call our office at 815-753-1183 or 815-753-6286 during our normal business hours (Monday – Friday; 8 a.m. –4 p.m.) and we can check your mailbox to see if what you are looking for has arrived. It would be especially helpful if you had a tracking number for your mail/package as well. You can then come to our office to pick it up that day or you can look for it to be delivered on the following day.

What if our department needs to get something sent out on a non-delivery day?

Outgoing mail can be dropped off at Campus Mail Services in the Dorland Building Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Departments may also contact Campus Mail Services in advance to arrange pick-up for large mailings.
