II.            PROCEDURES

Material received on low and high value orders is identified through information available on packing slip, label, IFIS and processed for next day delivery.

 

B.            University Purchase Orders

 

Goods ordered on a University Purchase Order require a "SHIP TO CODE". A Ship to Code is a number assigned to a specific delivery location. Material Distribution assigns SHIP TO CODES upon request. The following information is necessary to obtain a code:

 

1. Bldg. and Room # where you want goods delivered
2. Contact Name
3. Mailcode
4. Phone number

 

The SHIP TO CODE is required in conjunction with a correct address. The SHIP TO CODE does not replace an actual address. A full campus address must be provided to the vendor when placing an order.

 

C.            Priority Orders

 

Orders are considered "Priority" when a priority courier such as Federal Express, Airborne, Emery, UPS- NEXT DAY, etc. is utilized.

 

Packages that are of a perishable nature, require special handling, or refrigeration should be directed to the department location bypassing UCSD Receiving Area. This will avoid any delays and ensure against spoilage of perishable items. (See Section I.C. for proper addressing information.)

 

If your priority item is delivered to UCSD Receiving (Production Ave), it will be appropriately stored according to instructions on the outside label and will be delivered to its final destination the day AFTER it is received. (NOTE: This will delay your package 24 hours.)
