For safety and security all packages should be received and opened in the mailroom. The official's name and phone number should be listed on the call list of the mailroom directory. If delivery staff call and get no response, the items will be returned to the USPS. Tenants should expect United State Postal Service (USPS) delivery by noon each day. The USPS will pick up outgoing mail weighing 13 ounces and under. Tenants must take all other outgoing mail directly to a USPS Approved Shipper.

For deliveries to agencies on other floors, deliveries are made to the office following screening.
