How to get and process mail and packages

Policy

  • ACE members, leaders, and volunteers can have things FOR ACE shipped here, with approval from Officers, Staff and Leadership Team Members. See details below for doing this.
  • ACE Members can ONLY have things shipped here if they will be on-site at the time of delivery to receive it. ACE does not offer mail service for members at this time.

Receiving Packages

We get packages in three places usually.

  • By the coke machine in the main hallway. Check both sides and the white shelves.
  • At the doors to any of the suites.
  • Stuffed in the mailbox

Where packages go

incoming packages bins
Members should put packages in or near the Income Packages Bins in #113 Storage/Metal. A message to @facilities on slack with a photo is always nice.

Processing Packages

This is done by the Ace Associate and assigned via an Asana task

  1. Check the three locations packages might be. Also, check stairwells and other random places people might bring things into.
  2. Check any pings to @facilities for information on packages that might come in
  3. Break down any boxes or other packaging that things might come in and recycle or dispose of correctly.

Mail

This is done by the Ace Associate and assigned via an Asana task. This is different than processing packages.

  1. Check the mailbox for mail.
  2. Throw away anything that isn’t addressed to us unless it looks particularly interesting and relevant.
  3. Place mail in mailboxes in suite 206 and let @officers know there is mail. Note any mail that looks like checks or government information

Shipping instructions for ACE stuff

These instructions and tips are geared to the staff and leadership team folks who do all the shoppin’ for ACE. Following these tips will get you your stuff faster.

  • Always include Ace Makerspace in the delivery address even for Amazon
  • Include your Name or Program in the address whenever possible
  • Look for your stuff in incoming packages and PICK UP ASAP. Please don’t leave your stuff to clog the receiving area
  • Always take responsibility for disposing of and recycling your packaging. There is a cardboard skip in the loading doc for boxes. Always break them down.
