Important: All incoming and outgoing shipments using School of Chemical Sciences FedEx or UPS account numbers must comply with the following requirements:

• Approval Required for Every Shipment: Obtain approval from SCS Receiving before each incoming or outgoing shipment. To obtain approval, please use the SCS Shipping Form, which also provides prepaid shipping labels.
• Single-Use Authorization: Shipping account numbers are approved for one-time use only. Do not save, reuse, or share SCS account numbers with vendors or collaborators.
• CFOP and NetID Required: Provide a valid CFOP and the requester's NetID before a shipment is processed.
• Complete Shipping Address: All shipping labels must include the recipient's full name and room number. Packages addressed only to "Roger Adams Laboratory" or another general location cannot be routed correctly.
• Purchase Order Shipments: If a shipment is associated with a purchase order, the PO number must be included as the shipment reference number.
• Preferred Carrier: Whenever possible, use UPS instead of FedEx due to ongoing FedEx billing and tracking issues.

Failure to comply with these requirements may result in delayed deliveries, held packages, rejected shipping charges, or suspension of future shipping privileges.

We highly recommend including TWO contacts for international shipments.  The exception is if only documents are being sent.

Campus Mail & USPS Mailing Procedures

Please be advised that Campus Mail services are limited to intradepartmental and/or university campus mail that requires postage.

If an envelope or package already has the appropriate USPS postage affixed, it must be mailed directly through the United States Postal Service (USPS). Once postage has been applied, the item becomes the responsibility of USPS and is not processed through University Campus Mail, regardless of whether the item is personal or university-related.

For your convenience, a USPS collection box is located at the corner of Goodwin Avenue and Oregon Street. Please use the nearest USPS collection box or USPS location when mailing items that already have postage affixed.

Thank you for your cooperation and for helping ensure that mail is routed through the appropriate service.

Additional information may be found on the Campus Mail web page.
