Shipping & Receiving

Central Receiving

Central Receiving exists for the purpose of receiving and delivering freight for the University to sites without loading docks. The warehouse also ships items utilizing Fed Ex and UPS delivery options.

Receiving Services/Dock Delivery

Air express packages and other UPS, FedEx, or DHL deliveries are shipped directly to departments according to the delivery address stated on the purchase order; addresses must include a valid room number for delivery. Bulk ground orders via common carrier or truck freight and other deliveries are received by Receiving personnel during normal business hours of 8:00am-12: 00 pm and 1:00pm-5: 00 pm Monday-Friday. These deliveries are noted on daily delivery logs and are delivered within 48 hours after receipt to the address noted on the shipping label. It is critical that the department name and room number are listed on every shipment. Shipping personnel will notify departments prior to delivery to verify drop off locations.
