Loading Dock Services is concerned with safety.  It is important to know where packages came from and how they arrived.  Ensuring that ship to addresses are specific helps us sort, notify (if requested), and confirm that packages are safe.  We do follow the USPS recommended guide for suspicious packages.  It is also important for us to know when deliveries are being made.  If you see someone at the door, please request that they use the call box so we know to come down. 

Outgoing Mail and Packages

Campus Mail outside the building goes on the lower left shelf labeled “Outgoing Campus Mail” along the east wall of the loading dock.  There are several different types of mail appropriate for placing here: Cross-campus envelopes (name, dept, and building), USMail (USPS) incorrectly delivered (old address crossed out and new building written), new mail with correct stamp, or new mail with a Printing & Mailing form with directions and billing code filled out and attached.

Larger packages for cross-campus (name, dept, and building) go in the canvas cart with the sign “Campus Freight Outgoing” as well as do larger mailings (more than a handful) with forms attached (Contact Printing & Mailing for the correct forms).  Packages for anywhere else in the world can also be put in the campus freight canvas cart but need the correct forms previously mentioned attached to the packages.

Packages being sent with pre-paid labels via UPS or FedEx can be put on the LOWER SHELF of the grey UPS/FedEx receiving cart. Those delivery persons are on the alert for those and know to check there.  This does NOT work for USMail (USPS) packages.  The USMail does NOT pick-up here at the library, only at Printing and Mailing and a few other designated spots on campus such as XPress Stop in the MU.

Contact Printing & Mailing or your preferred shipping vendor for any shipping forms.  Loading Dock Services does not have oversight over outgoing mail and packages, we simply ensure that there is shelving identified in the loading dock.

Insect Treatment Box

Rachel Ziegler and Victoria Heiduschke are in charge of the book ovens in the far back corner.  They are used when books are returned with possible pest infestation.  When in use, there is always a note saying so, with a time frame.
