This page provides an overview of Mailer IDs and Mail Stops, and how they are established and maintained.
Departmental Mailer IDs
Mailer IDs are a four-digit alias to the department’s UC Chart of Accounts. Departments request Mailer IDs directly from Mail Services via AggieLogistics.
In AggieLogistics, departments can search for their departmental Mailer IDs.
Creating a New Mailer ID
- Department fills out a Mail Services form in AggieLogistics to request a Mailer ID for each new Chart of Account string for which they would like to process outgoing US Mail against. Departmental staff enter their contact information, department name, and Chart of Account string.
- Mail Services assigns a Mailer ID for customers to include on their outgoing mail and packages that require postage to be added by Mail Services before dispatching through the USPS.
Mail Stop Number (MSN)
Mail Services uses a numerical system for delivery locations at Campus and UCDH, identified in the format, MS ("Mail Services") followed by a 5-digit number, e.g., MS00001.
The Mail Stop Number (MSN) expedites the delivery of mail, as well as makes it easier for automated sorting equipment to read mail pieces and route them correctly to their final delivery destination.
Use AggieLogistics to search for departmental MSNs.
Creating a New MSN
To request a new MSN, departments complete a Mail Services form in AggieLogistics.
