CENTRAL RECEIVING & CAMPUS STORES

Central Receiving Services

	Central Receiving has the charge of receiving, processing and routing all materials purchased by the University. With University Purchase Orders our charge directs us to open and check the commodities received to make sure that they are in good condition and that they are what has been detailed on the Purchase Order, we then process them through PeopleSoft. With all other purchases and deliveries, we will receive inspect the outer package for damage and route the items for delivery according to the information on the shipper.
	The Track-pad Software used in Receiving enables the department to follow any received parcel from point of delivery at our door to point of delivery at your door. If you can provide us with the tracking number we can tell you where on campus it is.
	Receiving will intercede on your behalf for items to be retuned to the vendor. If they are University Purchase Orders we will contact the vendor and arrange for the return. Simply fill out the Receiving Pick-up Authorization Form fully, and give it along with the item to be returned to the Drive from Postal and Delivery Services when the come by. Receiving will do the rest. We will also ship out any Pro Card orders that you return, but you will have to contact the vendor and make the arrangements. Follow the same procedure detailed above making sure to include important information on the Receiving Pick-up Authorization Form. When ever possible please send all out going returns in the original packageing.
	Central Receiving will also ship out your package via UPS or Fed-Ex. If this is a return of a pruchase, please ask the vendor for "Call Tags" to be issues, this will make the shipment go out at the vendor's expense. Receiving will do the same with any University Purchase Orders. If you just have a shipment to send out there will be a charge back issued for the service.
