Package Delivery
Central Receiving receives parcels from private couriers (UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.) and freight shipments and delivers them to addressee locations on the main campus and at the Innovative Technologies Complex (ITC), generally within 1-3 business days. Central Receiving is open for deliveries Monday-Friday, 7:30 a.m.-3:00 p.m. Private couriers deliver parcels directly to the University Downtown Center (UDC) and Health Sciences Complex (HSC). All USPS parcels are handled by Campus Mail Services.
Addressees will receive an email notification when a parcel or shipment has been received at Central Receiving, and again once the parcel has been delivered to the addressee location. Delivery locations vary by building and department. If you would rather pick up your parcel at the Warehouse, please call 7-4004 or email cntrlrec@binghamton.edu to make arrangements. Your BU ID will be required to pick up your parcel. If you would like a representative to pick up your parcel for you, they will need a copy of your email notification and their BU ID.
