Shipping Update 1-26-09
Effective
immediately, Federal Express
has replaced UPS as the State of
- UPS rates have doubled.
For many years, UPS has been our main shipping company. Considering the challenging financial situation we are all facing at ETSU and statewide, we need to use the cheapest available quality shipping option. That choice is now Federal Express.
-
Current Fed-Ex users will not receive state contract rates.
If your department is currently using a Fed-Ex account, you will not
receive the new state contract rates on your old account number. Please
contact Central Receiving for instructions on how to begin
receiving the new discounted rates available from Fed-Ex.
-
UPS CampusShip users
For those on campus who have been using UPS CampusShip, Fed-Ex does not
currently offer a viable alternative. We are currently researching the
options available to us. In the meantime,
please call Central Receiving for pick up and processing of your shipment.
-
Central Receiving will still pick up and process your shipments.
For
those of you accustomed to calling Central Receiving to have your shipment
picked up and processed, nothing has changed. We will now be shipping your
items with Federal Express instead of UPS.
Should
you have any questions or concerns about this change, feel free to contact Jay
Seehorn or Marty Harvey at 94364. We will be glad to assist you in any way
that we can. (harvey@etsu.edu,
