Access to the Mail Services Application

Mail Services App

All University of Wisconsin-Madison departments are eligible to use Permit #33 for business reply mail. There are barcoded envelope templates available that must be customized to include your Return Address and Funding Account in the upper left corner.

Reply mail is first received by FP&M Mail, then forwarded to whatever inter-departmental return address is printed on the reply envelopes. As each returned piece is processed, it will be charged to the funding account on the outside of the business reply envelope, so you’re only charged for pieces that are returned. Please note in addition to First Class return postage, there will be surcharges from the USPS and FP&M Mail.

If you would like to do a business reply mailing, please contact FP&M Mail at 262-3881 or bryan.summ@wisc.edu for further instructions.
