After inspection by Central Receiving, our team will make delivery of materials to the requesting department as indicated in the purchase order record. Deliveries to departments are usually made within 24 hours after receipt by Central Receiving. If the delivery is a Materials Management supply order, the delivery is made within 24 hours of the order being received by Materials Management Inventory. Peak receiving periods may extend the delivery time unless special handling is required.

Upon delivery, our driver will be required to obtain the signature of the individual accepting the materials for the requesting department.  The number of cartons delivered should be verified against the delivery log before signature.  

When the driver leaves, the requesting department should verify the contents of each carton against the purchase order.  The driver will not be responsible for opening cartons, stocking shelves, installation or assembly of items received.

Shortages, overages, or incorrect merchandise received must be reported to Central Receiving immediately upon receipt. Please see the Central Receiving website for detailed information. Central Receiving will notify the Purchasing Department of any problems with materials received.

Installation or assembly requirements should be requested on the requisition so that the Purchasing Department may include them in the purchase order to the vendor. Departments may also choose to have installation or assembly performed by the University’s Facilities Operations And Management (FOAM).  Departments are, however, advised to communicate their requirements to FOAM before submittal of these requisitions to the Purchasing Department
