Shipping Options

*** UPDATE EFFECTIVE 1-26-09 ***

                  Due to a change in state contracts, ETSU no longer has access to special discounts with UPS.

                  ETSU departments must now pay full price for every package shipped via UPS.  Many of you who ship

                  regularly with UPS have noticed the increased charges on your invoices since the first of January.  FedEx

                  now has the current contract with the state and offer rates substantially lower than UPS.

                  Shipping Options:  The following shipping options are available for packages being shipped through Central

                  Receiving:

                                FedEx (Discounted Rates)

                                UPS

                                Unishippers (Freight Shipments)
