Mail Delivery & Times

Northeastern State University mail is collected from the Tahlequah Post Office, Monday through Friday except holidays. That mail will be sorted and ready for delivery to the Tahlequah campus departments that same day. When incoming mail is delivered, outgoing mail and inter-campus mail for Broken Arrow and Muskogee Campuses will be picked up.

The driver will pick up the mail from the Tahlequah Post Office at 9:15 a.m. He will deliver it back to the Drop Zone around 9:30 a.m. The mail will then be processed and bundled for delivery. The following schedule will be used for delivery to departments on the Tahlequah campus.

Helpful Hints

  • Make sure the mail gets to your department's mail room before Drop Zone regular pickup time. In large departments, allow time for your department's internal mail pickup.
  • Make sure each has a legible address to the receiving department.
  • Allow time for each campus to process the mail.
  • Place courier service mail on top of the regular campus or outgoing mail. This step is essential because it allows the courier to easily identify the pouch to separate it from your department's other mail.
  • Plan ahead. Although Courier Service is an extremely reliable service, no system is perfect. The courier's time at each mail stop is extremely limited in order to stay on schedule.
  • Don't leave items until the last minute.
