Mail & Receiving Services - Wayne State University

Attention Faculty and Staff,

As we continue to navigate the responses to COVID-19, Mail & Receiving Services continues to operate daily, but with reduced hours.  Currently, our hours are between 8:30 am -12:00 noon. However, we are taking further precautions to limit our face to face interactions.

These safety precautions include:

  • Limiting visits to USPS for retrieval of inbound mail and delivery of outbound mail to once per day.
  • No signature will be required for accountable/trackable mail deliveries. Mail & Receiving shall sign as delivered on behalf of recipients.
  • Mail and receiving will not be delivering mail and packages during Governor Whitmer’s “Stay at Home” period of time:
    • 1200 Holden (our location) will be open for pick-up of mail and packages and for drop off of any outbound mail. We have staged an isolated area near the dock entrance door, which is clearly marked RECEIVING, for pick-ups and deliveries. If you call ahead when you are coming the staff can ensure we have your mail and packages ready for pick up when you arrive.
    • 1200 Holden is located across from the Detroit Recycling Center with nearest cross roads being Lincoln and Holden.
    • If Departments wish to have their mail bundled and sent via USPS to a staff member’s home address, they may reach out to Leo Lieberman with an index to charge and the name and address of the staff member to send it to and we will do our best to accommodate these requests. Unfortunately we do not have the ability to do this for packages. All mail will be sent accountable so that it can be tracked
    • In the event you are not able to pick up your mail and packages, they will be housed until we are back to operating as usual. There will be no need to call or email to advise.
  • Please contact us as 577-2377 or 577-2376, or Leo Lieberman at bd4608@wayne.edu with additional questions. Please also note that due to reduced staffing during this period calls may not be answered straight away and there may delays in responses.

We are continuing to monitor the situation and are adjusting our processes as needed. Further notifications will be sent out as needed.
