INSPECT YOUR ORDERS
At the time of delivery, Central
Receiving asks that you sign for the number of pieces indicated and
make notation of any visible damage on the delivery ticket (Key Rec.)
Departments should then inspect their orders carefully and report any
discrepancies (shortages/overages, damage, wrong item, etc.) to
Purchasing and Central Receiving within 48 hours. If you are storing
your order for future use, make sure to inspect it prior to storage.
Concealed damaged claims have a 15 day limit and the sooner we are
advised of a problem the easier it will be to correct. When unpacking
your order make sure the boxes you are discarding are empty. The
custodial workers have found boxes with computer cables, software,
power cords, furniture parts, etc. in trash receptacles.
Also, if you receive merchandise in your
order that does not belong to you, please notify Receiving immediately
so we may pick it up.
CORRECT DELIVERY LOCATION
Accurate delivery information is
extremely important to avoid the major inconvenience of having to
arrange for the re-delivery of an order. Central Receiving delivers to
the location indicated on the Purchase Order. When initiating your
requisition make sure to type the actual delivery location for the
merchandise.
Central Receiving does not deliver or
pick-up merchandise off campus. If you have merchandise to be pickup
at the airport or other locations, you must arrange for a courier or
freight company to deliver it to the campus. Central Receiving at
University Park only receives and makes deliveries at University Park.
Items for Biscayne Bay Campus must be sent directly to Central
Receiving at Biscayne Bay.
PLAN AHEAD
When placing orders, departments
must work closely with Purchasing to arrange for any special handling
or storage requirements. Central Receiving cannot provide storage or
hold merchandise for departments. If you are ordering large, oversized
or extremely heavy equipment, make sure these items will fit through
doors and do not exceed weight limits for elevators, etc. You may have
to arrange for Ainstalled@
delivery with the vendor. Central Receiving can not move furniture to
accommodate incoming equipment nor can we unpack or uncrate
merchandise. Departments should contact Campus Services for
assistance. It is the department's responsibility to arrange for the
removal of discarded packing materials, boxes, pallets, etc.
SHIPPING/RETURNING MERCHANDISE
All university merchandise being shipped
out of Central Receiving must be arranged through Purchasing. A
Shipping/Return (SL) form must be completed and sent to Central
Receiving to initiate a pickup of merchandise to be returned.
Receiving cannot not ship your merchandise without a Shipping/Return
form. This form provides all information required for shipping, sets
value of merchandise for insurance purposes, informs Property and
Controllers of merchandise leaving the campus, and allows for the
billing of shipping charges to the department through inter-
departmental transfer of funds. To avoid refusals by the consignee,
the proper return authorization must be obtained from the vendor prior
to shipping.
