Delivery Schedules 

• Mail and small packages will be delivered throughout the morning and afternoon.
• Larger packages will be delivered in the afternoon.
• Packages received prior to 3 p.m. will be delivered the same day. Otherwise, they will be delivered the next business day.
• Overnight packages are delivered within the same day. If there is a delay, it is usually because the package did not arrive prior to 3pm.

Freight
Any delivery larger than a standard package is considered freight, such as:

• Packages over 150lbs
• Furniture
• Palletized deliveries
• Machinery

Please notify shipping and receiving via email when ordering freight, which is typically delivered via OTR trucking companies. This email should include: 

• A short description of the item(s)
• Where the delivery is coming from
• Where the item(s) should be delivered
• Contact number 

In some cases, freight will arrive in damaged packaging. Providing a contact number for our team allows us to consult the receiving party prior to signing for possibly damaged goods. It may be necessary for the contact person to visit the warehouse to conduct their own inspection and pass judgement to receive or reject the delivery. Unless otherwise notified to require special delivery conditions, shipping/receiving staff will simply use discretion to determine whether a delivery is acceptable.

USPS/FEDEX/UPS

• Packages delivered to shipping and receiving will be marked as Delivered according to their tracking number by these companies. This simply means that campus staff have received the package but does not imply that the package has reached its final destination.
• All packages must include the proper destination address when ordered. Failure to do so will likely result in delays or undelivered packages.

Lost Packages
When inquiring about a lost package, please send an email to [email protected]  containing as much of the following information as possible:

• Tracking number
• Date of shipment
• Date of anticipated delivery
• Shipping company (USPS, UPS, FedEx, Amazon, DHL, etc.)
• Origination point/vendor
• Name of the person/department the package should’ve been addressed to
• P.O. number
• Who signed for it on campus

Bulk Mailing
Contact [email protected] for assistance and guidance in planning bulk mailing. Shipping and receiving does not offer internal processing for bulk mailing but will assist with the process of contacting outside companies that do offer this service.

Please contact [email protected] at your earliest opportunity regarding the number of pieces, dates, and description of bulk mailing. While warehouse operations does not process bulk mailings, funding of the USPS Bulk Mail Permit is handled through this office. Your bulk mailing may be delayed if there are not enough funds available to process it. Without advanced notice, adequate funding cannot be guaranteed, which could potentially delay a bulk mailing for up to 10 business days as funds are acquired.

Salvage Materials
Salvage materials include:

• Scrap materials: ballasts, fluorescent lights and fixtures, wire, metals, etc.
• Furniture
• Lab equipment
  • All lab materials requested to be removed must have a Clean Sheet attached to each item being moved.
  • A Clean Sheet, also known as Hazard Clearance and Declaration Form can be found here.
  • Without this sheet, the item will remain in place. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved.

Hallways, stairwells, and loading docks are not storage spaces. Do not move items into these areas as this creates fire code violations and safety concerns. If the university is fined, the cost will be charged to the department that created the violation.

Please do not dispose of scrap materials, furniture, lab equipment, or other salvage waste using campus dumpsters or trash compactors.

Universal Waste
Universal wastes meet the definition of hazardous waste but are very common and can be easily recycled.

Universal wastes include: light bulbs (lamps), batteries, and electrical ballasts.

Batteries used for university business are collected by Environmental Health and Safety via Hazardous Materials Pickup Form.

Used bulbs and electrical ballasts are collected by warehouse operations.

Bulbs considered universal waste include: fluorescent, compact fluorescent, high-intensity discharge, ultraviolet, LED, and flood lamps.

Incandescent light bulbs are not considered universal waste and can be discarded in the trash.

Training is mandatory for all personnel who handle used fluorescent bulbs.

Contact Environmental Health and Safety for more training information.

Surplus Property
Hallways, stairwells, and loading docks are not storage spaces. Do not move items into these areas as this creates fire code violations and safety concerns. If the university is fined, the cost will be charged to the department that created the violation.

Furniture Moving Services

• Furniture moves must be scheduled a minimum of 5 business days prior to the target date.
• Please measure the destination space to ensure that the moved furniture will fit.
• Complex furniture may require an external company’s assistance at an additional expense to the department. In this case, a quote will be gathered for approval prior to the move.

All requirements below must be met prior to the warehouse team's arrival to move your items.

• Desks: Must be cleared off and all materials removed from drawers. 
• Computers, phones, or printers: A Purdue Information Technology support request must be completed to have these items moved in conjunction with any furniture move. Warehouse Ops does not move these items.
• File Cabinets: If the move is to another suite, floor or building, the cabinet must be emptied of all contents, with the exception of the bottom drawer. (This assists with stability of the cabinet during the move.) The cabinet can be moved as is, only if being moved within the same office or between offices within the same suite.
• Bookcases: All materials and books must be removed.
• Sciences Lab Equipment (Chemistry, Biology, and Medical): All lab materials requested to be moved must have a Clean Sheet attached to each item being moved. Without this sheet, the item will not be moved. This is for the safety and security of all parties involved, including our employees, students, as well as the public, who may be the end user after decommissioning.
