The University Receiving Department is responsible for the unloading, receipt, documentation, data entry and distribution of all University related orders as to ensure accountability and accuracy of orders placed for University operational needs. Department Deliveries Because of the high volume of received orders, it is our policy to deliver most orders directly to the department administrative office. This is to ensure that your order has been accounted for, and the department can properly notify their Faculty and staff members for immediate pickup and proper storage. Because we are a research and medical facility, a majority of orders received require immediate storage requirements (refrigeration and/or freezer). For equipment and orders that are too numerous to deliver to administrative departments, we ask that the department accompany Receiving staff and or advise them of the desired destination. For very large orders we ask that you please give us prior notice so that we can plan accordingly.
For packages received requiring refrigeration or freezer, these packages are given top priority when processing in Receiving. To facilitate proper storage requirements prior to Receiving delivering your order, these packages are immediately placed in the required storage (located in receiving is a 22” cu.ft. -20 Freezer chest and a 20 cu.ft. laboratory refrigerator). Items placed in the freezer or refrigerator are removed only when Receiving is enroute to make the delivery. If you are expecting a large order, we encourage you to notify Shipping and Receiving in advance so we can prepare to unload, verify the order, plan a staging area for processing, and schedule delivery. Receiving Fixed Assets It is the responsibility of the Receiving Department to tag and verify make, model, serial number and the location of equipment meeting the University fixed asset requirements (See Accounting fixed asset requirements) Most fixed asset deliveries require setup and testing prior to final approval for payment and asset tagging. We ask that you please immediately contact the Distribution Manager (ext. 8666) when you and your department are satisfied with your equipment.
