A. General Information
Shipping and Receiving provides packing and
shipping services for outgoing material. All
shipments must relate to official
university business and all requests must have a
valid account
number to be processed. Shipping &
Receiving uses UPS for most outgoing shipments.
If
package does not meet UPS requirements,
Shipping & Receiving selects a freight company
to
handle the shipment and department is
charged accordingly. Outgoing shipments must be
accompanied by pre-printed shipping labels.
B. UPS
Charges for all outgoing UPS shipments are
billed directly to departmental accounts as
designated at the time of shipment. This
includes all UPS ground, air, and overnight
shipments
that are initiated by a department or
relate to items returned on state purchase
orders. If the
recipient is paying for the shipment,
Shipping & Receiving requires the recipient’s
UPS account
number for third party billing. An optional
method for shipping at the recipient’s expense
is for
the recipient to issue a UPS call tag
through their local UPS representative. In all
cases,
Shipping & Receiving must be contacted to
pick up the outgoing shipment from the
requesting
department.
