Shipping & Receiving

The Central Stores Warehouse is responsible for shipping, receiving and distributing all items entering or leaving TRU. That is:

• All goods coming into TRU are received through the Central Stores warehouse
  
  
• All goods and materials shipped from TRU are sent through the Central Stores warehouse

The exception to the above procedure is for Culinary Arts and Meat Cutting supplies. The shipping and receiving functions of Central Stores ensure that proper records are maintained.

Weigh bill forms and courier envelopes used to send items off campus are available from Central Stores. Courier forms are ordered from Stores by filling out an IDI. Be sure to include an appropriate account number on the IDI and on the weight bill when you fill out such bills. If we do not know what account is to be debited, we cannot ship the items.

Central Stores ships items by using the most appropriate service for your package based on its destination, weight and delivery time factors. For example, if the parcel needs to reach its destination by the next day, we will ship by over-night courier.
