Central Receiving

Central Receiving is a sub-section of Procurement Services whose mission is to support the University in the receipt, verification, and delivery of items that are shipped from Vendors.

Central Receiving is available for deliveries:

9:00am - 4:00pm, Monday through Friday 

Direct Deliveries: Direct deliveries occur when an order is either too large or the delivery location is a remote site. If a direct delivery occurs, it is imperative that your department contact the Receiving Department. You can e-mail Mike Trotter, Kevin Summerville or Anthony Ballard. Please include the vendor name and purchase order number with your notification.

Returns: Most vendors have a 30 day return policy. Inspect your order promptly to ensure that there is not concealed damage, proper items were received, and correct quantities were received.

If you need to return an order, contact the appropriate Buyer. The Buyer will arrange to have your order returned.
