Non-Mailable Items

Items such as metal pieces, glass parts, product samples, chemicals, etc., cannot be mailed in envelopes. They require special packaging before mailing or shipping. The Drop Zone will be able to determine the most appropriate handling method.

Envelopes

Appropriate Size and Strength Envelopes should be of the right size and strength to accommodate the enclosure.

  1. The size should properly accommodate the insert(s). Excessively large envelopes will not keep the inserts firm. The inserts in such envelopes slide, creating an imbalance of the envelope, increasing the risk of ripping and loss of contents. A snug fit keeps the enclosure firm in the envelope.
  2. Conversely, when an envelope is overstuffed it can burst at the seams. The result can be a total loss of the mailing.
  3. The strength of the envelope should withstand the weight of its contents. If there is stress at the seams or sharp edges, the envelope is overloaded and can burst, therefore, increasing the chance of contents being lost.

Extended Campus

Our courier goes to NSU Muskogee and NSU Broken Arrow Campus on a daily basis. You can drop off mail for the sites at the Drop Zone or give it to the courier as he delivers mail. Items received before 1:00 p.m. will be delivered that day. Items dropped off after 1:00 p.m. will be delivered the next working day.
