Personal orders or shipments not related to university business are not allowed through Central Receiving.<\/p>\n Overnight shipments and RUSH orders are processed and delivered on the same day. Exceptions to same-day delivery can be caused by late delivery by the shipper due to weather, no notification that shipment is a RUSH, etc.<\/p>\n If same-day delivery cannot be made due to short staffing situations in Central Receiving, the department will be called and made aware of the shipment and it may be picked up at Central Receiving or other arrangements made.<\/p>\n If delivery is received and initial inspection of the outer packing shows damage, Central Receiving staff will make a notation of the damage. It is the responsibility of the department that ordered the goods to resolve damaged orders with the vendor.<\/p>\n If the damaged\/broken item(s) are over-sized (furniture, etc.), the item will be kept at Central Receiving, and the department will be notified to come and make an inspection.<\/p>\n The department that ordered the goods is responsible for resolving incorrect orders directly with the vendor.<\/p>\n When a department returns defective\/broken\/warranty repair items, and the vendor issues a UPS “Call Tag,” departments should box the item (use original box & packing if possible) and make arrangements to have the package delivered to Central Receiving to be held until the “Call Tag” is received from the vendor.<\/p>\n If the item(s) to be returned have a fixed asset inventory sticker or any state markings, the department must contact the BSU inventory coordinator at (218) 755-2776 to have the sticker and\/or state markings removed. For more information about inventory policies, see Business Services<\/a>.<\/p>\n For questions concerning packing, shipping procedures, etc., please call at 218 755-2269 or email centralreceiving@bemidjistate.edu<\/span><\/a>. For additional information on packing tips, tracking numbers, etc., contact the following companies:<\/p>\n Orders placed with a purchasing card must be shipped to Central Receiving. No other campus address nor home address is allowed.<\/p>\n Due to the fact that Central Receiving receives many shipments ordered by purchasing cards and has difficulty determining who placed the orders, as a courtesy, please notify Central Receiving Staff via email of purchasing card orders you are expecting.<\/p>\nDelivery Operations and Procedures<\/h2>\n
