FREIGHT AND DELIVERY SERVICES

Our Campus Freight and Delivery Services unit is committed to providing you with the best possible service for your freight and package delivery, office move requirements, and surplus pick up needs.  Our goals are simple:
  • Sustain same day package delivery
  • Maintain a 3-day turn-around for normal freight delivery
  • Maintain a 15 business day turn-around for your surplus needs
  • Accomplish work order requests on the day they are promised
  • Provide you with a 100% customer service guarantee.
We deliver to over 174 campus departments and 200 plus offices at both the main campus and the new Parkview Campus.  In order to achieve our goals and ensure timely delivery and pickup of your requirements, we ask that you call or email us to schedule all delivery, pickups, office moves, and table/chair requests at: For scheduling purposes, please observe the following guidelines:
  • Table and Chair requests require at least 10 business days for proper scheduling.  Your department Fund and Cost Center is required for this service.
  • Surplus moves normally are scheduled within 15 business days from the date the work order is filled out.  When requesting a work order for surplus and office move requests, please ask for the work order number for follow up action.
  • Normal freight is delivered first in, first out within three days unless otherwise coordinated.  Our warehouse space is very restricted and is not designed for long term storage.  Items awaiting delivery to your department beyond 10 business days affects our ability to service other campus departments.  If you are expecting a freight delivery, please contact the Central Receiving Clerk at 387-8811 in advance to make delivery arrangements.
  • Office moves require a minimum of 10 business days.  Please contact the Shipping Supervisor at 387-8819 to schedule your office move.  Please be very complete as to the nature of the articles to be moved.  Very heavy items need to be identified.  Items which need to be disassembled must be coordinated with Maintenance/Building Services at 387-2FIX (2349).
  • All packages, UPS, Express, Airborne, and other high priority items are delivered the same day received.
