Processing & Distribution

Each weekday, Drake Postal Operations processes incoming mail and packages from the USPS, Fed Ex, UPS and other carriers, and handles intercampus mail from various departments.

For the security and safety of your mail, we use large blue mailing bags, labeled with your department’s name, to transport most departmental mail.

Make sure that the people, businesses and institutions that regularly send you mail have your current Drake address information to ensure the most accurate and efficient delivery.
