Please bring your ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ ID card when collecting parcels from us.
The barcode and RFID chip on your ID card are unique, and is a more secure way of "signing off" packages than barely legible signatures and, obviously, speeds up the procedure significantly.
Personal deliveries are not allowed to be delivered to the Stores. Stores can only accept deliveries and packages related to ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ business. All deliveries of a personal nature must be directed to one of other delivery hubs nearby, such as the Amazon lockers on Campus.
Due to limited space the maximum accepted parcel size is 60cm x 60cm x 60cm (call the Stores Manager to arrange for larger parcels) and parcels should only be related to college business. Bulky or unwieldy packages will not be accepted unless by prior arrangement.
We process hundreds of packages for all department members and, during periods of heightened activity, there are inevitable delays as we clear the backlog. We appreciate your patience at busy times.
If you are tracking a parcel via a courier's website, please allow for processing time. Your parcel may have been signed for, but will possibly be a part of a much larger consignment, each package will need to be processed individually. We will email all recipients as packages become available for collection.
"Please do not come to the stores to collect a package that has been flagged as delivered on a couriers tracking service. The package may have been signed for at a different location within the College. Please wait until you have recieved an email from us stating that the package is ready to be collected."
Asset tagging/testing
The Stores is responsible for updating the departmental asset register, in accordance with College Financial Regulation 12.7, which states:
"12.7 Wherever practicable, attractive and/or portable items of equipment should be permanently marked to identify them as University property."
Any items that have been bought on a College purchase order will have, upon receipt, an asset label attached in an inobtrusive position (as space permits), yet in plain sight, then entered into an internal database.
Items that require PAT testing are also entered into a database. These items will not be made available for collection until all testing and logging is complete and the necessary databases have been updated.
