RECEIVING

Material received on purchase orders is unpacked and inspected for damage and/or other irregularities and quantity and accuracy are verified against open University Purchase Orders. Problems such as damaged goods, irregular deliveries, exchanges, cancellations, and delayed deliveries will be handled by Shipping & Receiving.

Once the material is inspected and approved, it is repacked and sent to the (Deliver to:) address on the bottom of the purchase order. Please note that it is important to include the correct delivery point on the purchase order. Delivery personnel will only deliver to that location.

Delivered material will include a packing slip with a stamp indicating the date received and a stamp verifying delivery acceptance. Please return the signed packing slip to Shipping & Receiving within eight days. All other material received will be logged and delivered to the appropriate office.
