Postal service
University mail is posted via the central postal service (via arriva).
Shipping packages
Please pack your mail parcels so they can be shipped. Boxes and packing material are available from Facility Management in M 541. Then have your package weighed at the post room (“Poststelle”).
The post room ships packages at the standard rate. All shipping at non-standard rates is handled by Financial Affairs (procurement) which will find the most economical delivery method. This can vary, depending on the following factors:
- Type and size being shipped (hazardous materials, several packages),
- the destination (international shipments, customs formalities)
- and the delivery deadline (express courier).
Generally speaking: The sooner a package needs to arrive, the more expensive it is to ship. For this reason, please consider sending your materials sooner than later. Make sure you allow about two weeks for international shipments.
Please attach the shipping request form to the usual university order form.
