FedEx Ground pickups can be scheduled for the next business day or up to ten business days in advance.

If your package will not fit in the drop box, or is a FedEx Ground rather than FedEx Express package, then you will need to request a pickup. NOTE: If your package is too large to fit into the drop box or the drop box supplies are insufficient for your needs please call or visit Distribution. Note that the drop off box on the loading dock is for FedEx Express packages only (as opposed to FedEx Ground). While risky, people with boxes larger than these dimensions often leave them on top of the drop box. The drop box will fit packages up to approximately 20″ x 12″ x 12″. Pickups generally occur just before 5:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Drop boxes fit your schedule with drop off for FedEx Express, FedEx Ground.

If we are doing a favor for the recipient, e.g., sharing a plasmid, they should provide their FedEx account number so that we can charge them. If we are paying for the mailing, do not fail to include our grant/project number when preparing the mailing label. We have the option to pay for the mailing ourselves or charge the recipient. This requires the recipient’s complete mailing address, phone number, and the email addresses of anyone you would like to track the package.
Consequently, contact your lab manager, who will prepare the mailing label. A FedEx mailing must be done through the University’s eProcurement system.
