New Package Pickup Process 

Your package pickup process will look a little different beginning August 3! QR codes will no longer be used to retrieve packages. Instead, you will use your Stanford Student ID Card, either your physical ID card or Mobile ID on your phone.

When you receive your package pickup email, simply go to the locker or package center listed in the notification and scan your Stanford Student ID card or Mobile ID at the card reader to retrieve your mail or package.

For more information about Mobile ID or to contact the ID Card Office, please visit the Stanford UIT website.

Bulk Mail

Main content start

Permit #28— To send bulk mail via USPS, it is economical to use the Stanford nonprofit mail Permit #28. Minimum requirements to qualify for nonprofit bulk mail postage rates are 500 pieces for First Class and 200 pieces or 50 pounds for Standard mail service. Contact an external mail preparation service to make arrangements for the mailing.  The mail preparation service vendor will take care of the required USPS paperwork and must obtain the necessary signature from Mail and Package Services (MPS). The selected vendor must have an approved work request (see below) for use of the permit. The department requesting the service pays the postage via the PTA provided to MPS. There is an additional processing fee charged for this service.

To utilize Bulk Mailing Permit #28, submit a Work Request by doing the following steps:

  1. Go to https://facops.stanford.edu/submit-work-request
  2. Click “Submit a Work Request – Stanford Campus”
  3. “Bulk Mailing-28” link located at the bottom of the page
  4. Complete required request fields
  5. Provide the generated request number to the appropriate mail preparation service vendor. Advise the service vendor that they (the vendor) must email the Postage Statement to lbresupportservices@stanford.edu for approval prior to the mailing being completed.
