Mailroom catches up with package backlog

Mar 15

Posted by uspostal in News Releases

Tasting a warm pistachio muffin from the Blue Room, shopping for that perfect fourth class, running into everyone you know in the Sharpe Refectory — these are a few of the nice things about returning to campus for spring semester. Waiting in line in the mailroom for 25 minutes to pick up a box of textbooks is not one of them.

The mailroom faced an unusually large backlog and longer lines this semester due to weather complications and an increased influx of packages, said Fred Yattaw, manager of University Mail Services. Mail Services processed 17,148 packages between Jan. 24 and Feb. 17, compared to 15,816 during the same period last year, according to data provided by Yattaw.

Mariah Gonzales ’13 waited over a week to pick up a package because the line in J. Walter Wilson was consistently excessive, she said.

“I actually made my brother pick up a package for me because the line was so long,” she said, adding, “I think he thought he was going to get something out of it because the package was from my mom.”

Electronic notifications alert students of packages

Feb 26

Posted by uspostal in News Releases

The outdated system of notifying by paper has been replaced with an e-mail system that saves time.

E-mail updates replace yellow slips to improve mailroom communication

A new mailroom system in the University of South Carolina Post Office has caused a stir on campus. On Feb. 11, the old system of placing yellow package notification slips in students’ mailboxes was replaced with an e-mail update.

Barry Meyers, the director of the USC Postal Services, is excited about the new method of package distribution. He said that, in January, 10,050 packages were delivered to resident students via the mail center. With the old system of paper notification slips, much of mailroom employees’ time and energy was spent printing, labeling and delivering the yellow slips.

The e-mail system allows the mailroom to process the packages through an internal tracking system and digitally assign them a shelf location based on the student’s name and the shipping carrier type. The e-mail is then sent, and students can receive their packages by scanning their CarolinaCards at the package pick-up desk.

Meyers noted that it is important for students to check their “junk” e-mail if they are expecting a package notification, and add the address noreply@sgbx.com This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to a “safe sender” list.

CHARLES TIMS STAFF WRITER

A Wartburg student’s mother called her and asked why she hadn’t thanked her grandmother for the gift cards she sent her.

The student was unaware of receiving anything besides an envelope. Later campus security informed her she was a victim of theft, in which her gift cards were stolen.

John Myers, director of campus security and safety, said the gift cards were mailed out Dec. 15, but when the student checked her mail box on Jan. 11, there was nothing but a torn envelope in her box.

The mail room, which currently resides in the University Center, is relocating to the downstairs of the Commons as part of the comprehensive renovation in store for the UC, scheduled to begin this summer.

Drew’s Executive Director of Facilities and Special Projects Mike Kopas said that a primary goal of the UC’s renovation is to “maximize student space.”
