Deluxe Delivery Systems (DDS) is the carrier vendor who has the responsibilities for delivery of interoffice mail, special education and special “on – demand” requests for deliveries between schools and offices within the Department of Education as well as the distribution of payroll.
Commencing on August 31st and until September 23, 2009 interoffice mail will be picked up and delivered twice a week per Interoffice Mail Calendar for September. Effective September 30th and for the duration of the school year, pick up and delivery of interoffice mail at schools will resume to once a week on Wednesdays of each week unless there is a holiday, then it will be on Thursday. For the weeks in which schools are closed for winter, mid-winter and spring *recess there will be no pick up and delivery at the schools. This does not affect Central Offices.
For information pertaining to the courier service between schools and the Committee on Special Education (CSE) for the months of September through December 2009, please access the CSE Calendar. The new schedule for payroll deliveries is also available by accessing Payroll Calendars.
Special delivery requests defined as any package weighing more than one pound but less than forty (40) pounds or for any delivery outside of the interoffice mail schedule can not be placed via fax or telephone calls. The contracted vendor, Deluxe Delivery will only accept special delivery requests through an order application available on the FAMIS portal. This is a user friendly process that ensures all orders are fulfilled accurately and delivered on time. For instructions on how to navigate to the application and review of the process for placing an order on the FAMIS portal, please access the FAMIS Courier Special Order User Guide. Special courier service is the only way to receive delivery confirmation for sensitive material.
