The receiving ticket set is an integral part of the Purchase Order.  It specifies where vendor shipments will be delivered within the University.

Mail Services/Shipping and Receiving is responsible for the receipt, cursory inspection and reporting of inbound shipments directed to their facility.  The ultimate responsibility for quality control inspection resides with the Unit for whom the material was purchased. Mail Services/Shipping and Receiving personnel should not be assumed to have performed the quality control function.

The Library, Student Union, and various units are responsible for the receipt, formal quality control inspection, and reporting of all inbound vendor shipments directed to their receiving facility.

Unit pick-up of merchandise at the vendor must be processed through Mail Services/Shipping and Receiving.

Contractors are responsible for materials delivered in their name for their use at the University.  Contractors must off-load and store these shipments using their labor, equipment and facilities.

Deliveries of a personal nature will not be accepted through Mail Services/Shipping and Receiving.

All merchandise accepted by Mail Services/Shipping and Receiving will be delivered to the requesting Unit.  At that time signatures are obtained certifying that the items were delivered.  However, final acceptance is dependent upon Unit inspection and physical count.

Questions regarding the above stated policy should be directed to Mail Services/Shipping and Receiving, extension 5318.
