Central Receiving

Creative Communications is the central receiver for all packages delivered to UW Tacoma, but there are some exceptions. The exceptions include:

  • Equipment orders that require asset tagging
  • Hazardous materials
  • Full pallet freight deliveries

If the package comes in with a purchase order number on it, Creative Communications staff will open the box, match the contents to the packing slip, and receive it in Workday. The box will be taped closed, with a Goods Delivery Receipt – R1135 attached to it and delivered.

If the package after being opened is found to be compromised, i.e. items are broken or quantities are wrong or contents don’t match the packing slip, Creative Communications staff will contact the purchase requester through a UW Connect ticket, and will support efforts to fix the situation.

If the package is delivered with no PO number, C2 staff will simply deliver the package to the designated delivery location.
