Important Information Regarding Mailing Services

The Shipping and Receiving department will not be staffed on campus wide furlough days. Departments should take into account how their deliveries may be affected on furlough days. Special attention should be given to priority, overnight, and expedited deliveries that may be returned to the vendor if delivery is attempted on these days. This factor becomes increasingly important in relation to temperature sensitive items that require refrigeration or freezing.

Many vendors do not utilize companies with local shipping stations. The use of such carriers, when attempting delivery on a furlough day, will result in the truck drivers having an extended layover. In some such cases, the customer will incur charges relating to the unexpected layover.

Please feel free to contact Warehouse Operations at ext. 4320, if you any questions or concerns.
