WKU POSTAL SERVICES New Address FAQ's

*Is it okay to start using the new addresses BEFORE July 1?

We recommend that you do not use the new address prior to July 1. The reason is because the USPS isn't going to enter the information into their database until July 1^st. The problem with using the address before July 1st is "1906 College Heights Blvd" does not exist to the USPS.

*Why did you release the new address and departmental numbers early?

We released the numbers early to allow departments the opportunity to prepare for the change and utilize funding from old & new year.

*I have stationery and brochures that I would like to use, how long can I use the old "Big Red Way" address after July 1st?

Departments will have until August 31, 2005 to use up any old stationery or printed material with Big Red Way on it.

*What happens if I receive mail after July 1st with the old address on it, will it be returned to sender?

No, we will have up to 12 months to get all of our addresses updated prior to it being returned to sender.

Letterhead, Business Cards, Envelopes, Brochures, Website information, Email Signatures.
