Faculty/Staff Mail Services: Billing

Mail Services bills for all postage charges on a monthly basis. Each billed account is sent a detail report listing the charges incurred during the previous month and the type of service used. For some items, the date listed does not represent the date the item was sent out. For example, a package sent by UPS the last week of the month will not be billed until the following month, due to the delay in receiving the invoice from UPS.

When the detail report is received, please review the charges listed and contact Diane Cardone in Mail Services (442-3278) with any concerns or questions.

No invoices are generated for departments incurring postage charges. The Accounting Office deducts the charges (recharges) from each account on a monthly basis, after receiving a summary report from Mail Services of monies used.

The table below lists the codes used on the detail report issued to departments and describes the type of service associated with the code.
