Mail Services


Incoming Mail

All incoming mail that is addressed to the Department of Administration or an agency at One Capitol Hill is delivered daily to the mailroom by the United States Post Office. The mail is delivered to the intended agencies after it is sorted by Central Mail Facilities personnel.

Because the volume of mail that is received changes daily, and takes varying amounts of time to be sorted, there is no set time that the incoming mail is delivered. Agencies can typically expect to have the mail delivered with interdepartmental mail during the mid-morning route.

Mondays and any day following a holiday, especially when there is a long weekend, the incoming mail volume is always larger than normal, takes longer to sort, and may not be delivered until early afternoon. Shown here are the delivery times for One Capitol Hill route.

Agencies that do not want to wait for all of the mail to be sorted and delivered, routinely visit the mailroom and retrieve a portion of their agencies mail. Feel free to take this course of action if you need to get started on your incoming US Mail, or if you are expecting something important from the US Postal Service.

Incoming Packages

The package delivery companies in our area (UPS, FedEx, Airboune, etc.) typically deliver priority packages by 10:00 AM and ground packages by 12:00 PM. When these packages are received by the Central Messenger Center personnel, the tracking barcodes are scanned into our "Arrival" system, and then delivered to the addressee, or the addressee's agency. The addressee or if not available, a co-worker is asked to sign for the package, so that we can trace it at a later date if necessary.

As with the incoming US Mail, if you are waiting for a particullary important package, and cannot wait for it to be processed, you can visit the mailroom or have someone retrieve it for you. That person will also be asked to sign for the package as well.
