INFORMATION FOR SUPPLIERS

Shipping Information for Suppliers

Summary: UCSD Receiving and Distribution processes and delivers all incoming packages from outside suppliers.

UCSD's Receiving Department, located at 7835 Trade St., Suite 100, is the primary delivery location for incoming packages as required by UCSD policy. The Receiving Department protects packages from damages and shortages, and deals with any freight claims.

In most cases, shipments suppliers should not deliver directly to campus locations. (See Exceptions below).  The Receiving Department delivers packages to the department the day after the supplier delivers them. Items that need to be uncrated or assembled require additional delivery time.
