There are also postal deliveries received at the Bute building and the Physics building, for local distribution. Outgoing mail from the North Haugh can be franked by Janitorial staff based in Physics.
Opening hours
Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm
Closed on Saturdays and Sundays
The Messenger Driver collects / delivers mail from most schools and units twice a day. Delivery times are available on request.
To ensure the constant availability of mailbags for your School or Unit we collect empty mailbags should you have no mail to be collected on that day.
For same day posting the deadline for last post is 4pm at the Mail Room.
Sending mail
Please ensure that your mail is correctly addressed.
Full postal addresses for University departments are available on through Contacts on our website.
To help us deliver the mail promptly please ensure that you address your mail as fully as possible. Many Schools and Units are spread over split sites and unless the names of the departments and buildings concerned are included in the address the mail may inadvertently be delivered to the wrong site.
Bulk mailing
If a school or unit is preparing a bulk mailing, the Mail Room should be given two days advance notice of posting. This will enable the mail to be processed in the most efficient way. It is also helpful if all addresses are kept facing the same way up.
Charges
The Mail Room makes no additional charge for its services, the cost of postage is recharged to schools and units using the appropriate cost centre coding. If you require additional accounts to be set up, please email the Mail Room at mailroom@st-andrews.ac.uk detailing the name of the cost centre account.
