For most residential buildings, mail is picked up at the 30th Street Post Office by Penn Mail staff, delivered in bulk, and sorted and placed in mailboxes by Datrose, a contract company working for the Department of Housing Services. Mail delivery to the College Houses and Sansom Place will occur as long as the proper form of address is used.

IMPORTANT MAIL INFORMATION REGARDING MAILING ADDRESS FORMAT

In sorting mail for delivery to Penn, US Postal Service equipment reads the second line from the bottom of the address. In order to speed up delivery and to prevent misdirecting of mail to other parts of the city, please use the proper address format listed below.
