Players can
send and receive in-game mail through World of Warcraft's
postal system. Every inn has a mailbox that players can
right click on in order to access mailbox functionality.
Types of Mail
There are several types of mail:
Normal Mail: This is text only mail written on stationery.
Normal mail may also include money.
Package: Players will receive a package when an item is sent
to them. A package can also include a text message and
money.
C.O.D: Players will receive a C.O.D. mail when an item has
been sent to them that they still need to pay for. C.O.D.
mail will need to be accepted and paid for, rejected, or
postponed until its expiration date.
Normal Mail will arrive at its destination immediately while
Packages and C.O.D items will take one hour to arrive.
Be sure to check your mailbox regularly as it does expire
after a certain period of time:
Normal Mail: expires in 30 days, deleted when expired.
Package: expires in 30 days, returned to sender when
expired.
C.O.D.: expires in 3 days, returned to sender when expired.
Mail can be sent to players by NPCs. Players on ignore lists
will not be able to send mail to those ignoring them.
Additional Information:
Mailboxes can be found near Inns. Mailboxes have different
appearances based upon race and location.
It costs 30 copper to send mail. If you don't wish to pay
the postage you can set the mail as C.O.D. for 30 copper.
The person receiving the mail must then pay the required fee
to receive the mail. This might be useful if you're mailing
an item to another person that you're giving away for free.
However, some people might be offended if you send them a
mail but require them to pay the postage. It can be seen as
being cheap. As you become higher level, the postage fee
becomes very cheap compared to the amount of money you have.
You cannot send mail to yourself. This would be considered
an exploit, since it would allow players to unfairly have
additional storage space.
You can send mail to your other characters, which can then
be used to exchange items or money.
You cannot mail players of the opposing faction such as
Horde mailing Alliance players.
Mail that has been read is now greyed-out.
When all attachments from a mail have been removed
(including text), the mail is automatically deleted.
There is a confirmation box for accepting C.O.D mail.
There is a confirmation box for deleting mail that has an
item or money attached, when the delete option is available.
If the subject line is not filled in when you put an item in
a piece of mail, it will automatically be filled in with the
item being sent.
Mailing Tips
Check your mailbox when you come back to town. You never
know what might be in there!
Make sure you send your mail to the correct person. Their
name must be spelled correctly or the mail may go to the
wrong person, just like real email!
Mail is great for trade skill craftsmen. Have your friends
or guildmates mail you ingredients and recipes. You can also
sell items you have created to other players by C.O.D. You
can advertise an item and offer to mail it to the buyer.
Another mail option is for someone to send you a reminder
that they want you to create a certain item for them.
You can only send one item per mail package. If you want to
send multiple items to the same person you will have to send
multiple packages.
Before paying for a C.O.D. item make sure it is set at the
correct price. You do not want to overpay for an item.
If you receive an item/mail you do not want, click on the
return button to return it to the sender. Be sure not to
click this button by mistake.
Remind people that items will take one hour to arrive.
Players unfamiliar with the mail system might expect it to
be delivered instantly.
Traveling Merchants
Some merchants make their rounds around the regions in the
world. If you see a traveling salesman, stop them and see
what they have to sell. It might be very rare!
Recipes/Training
Some merchants sell rare recipes or trade skill training. Be
on the lookout for them.
Buyback
If you accidentally sell an item you had not intended, you
can buy it back for the same price at which it was sold. You
can repurchase up to 12 items that you have sold to a
vendor. There is a buyback tab on all merchants that you can
select to repurchase the last 12 items you sold since you
last logged in. When your character leaves the game or zones
to a different area, this list of items will be cleared, so
if you have accidentally sold something, don't wait to buy
it back. Buy it back immediately.
