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.

Large Deliveries

The vehicle area for the loading dock is small and restrictive in maneuverability. Large items are usually delivered by large vehicles that will have to park and unload just outside the vehicle area or on the street, both of which lack the benefit of a lift. Prior arrangements should be made with Fred Veitenheimer of Environmental Health and Safety in regards to the forklift. "On the fly" arrangements can also be made, but results may vary. Another caveat is the Fred is typically NOT available for the hour of 12:30-13:30 daily.

Insect Treatment Box

Rachel Burgess is 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. 

...

Used toner area (back right corner of loading dock) is generally for Learning Commons printer toner only.  If you put your used toner here, you are ordering a replacement that your department will be required to pay for.  Northwest Print Strategies works on a milkman-type system, so the used toner you put out one month will be replaced with a new one the next month even if you don’t specifically order it.  Toner is picked up and delivered on the first Friday of the month.

Ecampus Marketing Material

Ecampus stores marketing materials and envelopes in the corner of the southwest corner shelving unit.  The contact for this material is Elizabeth Thomas.
