Central Receiving is a University-funded service that provides shipping and delivery of goods at no charge to University departments. This service to campus helps significantly reduce the number of vehicles on campus.

• Amazon, UPS, and Fedex packages are delivered the day after they are received at our docks. The packages will be delivered to the building's mail room address, identified on the package label.
• UIHC deliveries to the Medical Center on the University Campus and Stead Family Children’s Hospital will be delivered directly to the units, if possible, otherwise they will be left at the main loading dock with the facility’s receiving staff.
• Freight Deliveries will be delivered within 48hrs. Freight that is of a size that is larger than our equipment or staff are able to unload may have to have alternative arraignments prior to arrival on campus.
• All freight is visually inspected on the outside of its containers for damage, if damage is found we will attempt to contact the department. For special inspection procedures, please call before delivery to MBSB to make arrangements.
• Central Receiving and Shipping can assist in shipping out freight for your department, please contact us for assistance.
