Central Receiving

All goods shipped to the University are received and processed by Central Receiving, a division of the Procurement Department. All goods received may be inspected for damage and to verify packing slip details before being accepted.

Special Notes:

• Large or very heavy items will be delivered by the University janitorial services upon the ordering department completing a work request.
• Any damaged goods should be reported immediately to the janitorial service directly after delivery.
• Central Receiving does not assemble any equipment or furniture. If you need that service, you must contract for it with the vendor.

Shipping Services

Central Receiving has contracted rates with FedEx as the University preferred vendor for shipping services. This service is provided to all departments on campus (not for personal use) and outgoing packages may be brought to Central Receiving for processing. Please ensure that you bring the department's FRS account number and the completed form with you when dropping off your package.
