Tips for Avoiding Missed Orders or Deliveries
If ordering larger items from Amazon etc. please give specific directions and location to our Receiving Building. We have had several deliveries that sit overnight or longer on random docks throughout campus without us being aware. Also, If you are expecting items and you or your department is out, notify us so we do not attempt to deliver to a closed office.
If a package is thought to be missing, we are now able to check on that for you to see if it has made it to Shawnee State. Send us your tracking information for the package, and we can give you an update on its location.
Laser Ship is the main carrier for your Staples/Brown items. Many times these items are marked as Delivered and we have not yet received them. They mark them as received when they are loaded on the truck. If they attempt to deliver to your office directly, please reroute them to Receiving.
