Mail Services Oversight and Roles

Shipping/Receiving Management and Oversight Roles

Evanston Campus

Procurement and Payment Services manages shipping and receiving for the 2020 Dock, Technological Institute Dock and Hogan/Cook Dock.

Chicago Campus

Shipping and receiving is centralized and located at the Tarry Building, which services Levy Mayer Hall, McCormick Hall, Morton Building, Searle Building, Tarry Building, Ward Building, Wieboldt Hall, and other McGaw Medical Center locations. However, Abbott Hall, Lurie Center, and Lake Shore Center manage their own shipping and receiving docks.

Mail Services

University shipping and receiving that is not handled by Procurement & Payment Services is handled through UPS. On the Evanston campus, Mail Services manages UPS shipping; on the Chicago campus, UPS is available through the Tarry Building shipping and receiving area.

Delivery Schedule

  • Schools and units should have staff available during normal business hours to receive packages on the day they are scheduled to be delivered.
  • In situations where a building is locked or no staff are present to receive a package, delivery companies have been instructed to deliver the package to Tech or 2020 Ridge instead. PPS Logistics and Mail Services will then make arrangements to deliver the package to the unit. We do not expect this to happen often.
  • If your building will be locked or no staff will be present on certain days, please post those hours on the outside door. Please work with Facilities on appropriate signage if this is the case.If you have additional concerns or unique situations, please contact Reginald Lee, Manager of Logistics, at reginald.lee@northwestern.edu or (847) 467-7473.
