The Post Room have introduced a new internal post code (IPC) for the University. When sending internal mail you should still write as much information as possible on the envelope to ensure the mail arrives at the correct destination, but if you also add the new IPC it should reduce the chances of error. This code can even be added to mail coming from outside of the University to improve delivery efficiency.
The IPC relates to the location of the drop-off point for mail within every building, which should remain constant. This means any department using that point should adopt the relevant IPC and inform people sending mail to them to add this. If a department relocates it should use the IPC connected to the new delivery point they use. In this way, it is much like the Royal Mail’s own postcode system which relates to the property and not the person living in the property.
The Post Room will shortly send a flyer and a full list of IPC’s via every pigeon hole. The full IPC list will also be available to view via the Post & Portering web pages: http://southampton.likn.co/estates/

The Post Room believe that our courier companies, DHL and UPS, are operating as normal and can offer a next day service to these areas.
