Stores & Receiving Pickups (located in the Central Receiving Building)

Stores & Receiving is responsible for pickups and deliveries to all areas of the campus. In addition to delivering orders placed through iStores, the department also runs the centralized receiving site for orders placed by any department. Freight companies, unable to deliver to a street address, deliver packages to the Central Receiving Building (1609 S. Oak Street, Champaign), open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.,  where F&S staff deliver the items to the specific room or lab. This process also supports campus sustainable transportation and pedestrian safety initiatives by reducing the amount of truck traffic navigating the main sections of the campus.

Receiving offers a parcel pick-up/delivery service for the campus. The basic service covers orders ranging in size from a single box to a pallet. The cost of this service is $40. Orders larger than one pallet or that have special time-sensitive delivery needs may incur additional charges. For receiving assistance, 217-333-9628.
