Logistics

Effective July 1, 2008, UPS is Penn's preferred provider of in-bound shipment services to all Penn campus locations. This strategic initiative with UPS will include the following:

• In-bound shipments of purchase orders to all Penn campus locations
• Transportation services to streamline on-campus deliveries, enhance package tracking, reduce on-campus vehicle traffic in support the University's commitment to sustainability and campus safety
• New cost containment opportunities

As a supplier to the University, your support and cooperation is critical to ensuring that our new in-bound shipment initiative is successful. UPS Account Executives can contact each new supplier for the purpose of implementing in-bound shipment procedures to Penn. Please take the time to notify your appropriate personnel so that they can meet with the UPS Account Executive when he/she calls to schedule an appointment.

As a supplier to University of Pennsylvania, it is our expectation that ever effort will be made by your company to support this strategic initiative and transition all in-bound shipments to UPS. Please e-mail (issues@exchange.upenn.edu) any questions or concerns you may have regarding this new in-bound shipment program directly to Purchasing Services.
