Summary: When you place an order with an outside vendor, in most cases the package is delivered to UCSD Receiving. Read this page to determine what delivery information you need to give the vendor.
UCSD's Receiving Department is the primary delivery location for incoming packages as required by UCSD policy. The Receiving Department protects UCSD customers from damages and shortages, and deals with any freight claims. In most cases:
Shipments should not be delivered directly to campus locations. (See Exceptions below)
Packages are delivered to you the day after they are received by the Receiving Department. Note: Items that need to be uncrated or assembled require additional delivery time.
