ISU Central Receiving acts as a single point delivery for ISU campus. Central Receiving receives, tracks, and redistributes university funded materials to ISU departments at no additional charge. Departmental ship to addresses shall remain the same.

 

The main objective of Central Receiving is to increase student and staff safety by reducing vehicle traffic on ISU campus. Along with safety, Central Receiving delivers supply chain and operational efficiencies to Iowa State University.

 

ISU Central Receiving is located east of the ISU campus at 2105 East Lincoln Way Ames, IA 50010.

Packages and CyBuy orders are delivered to your building's Central Delivery Point within the same day or next day of being received at Central Receiving. Freight deliveries will be scheduled with the end customer once received at Central Receiving. Expedited delivery is available. Call Corey Bickelhaupt 515-294-1804 for more details.

Central Receiving utilizes Central Delivery Points (CDP's) at all buildings we serve on campus (package delivery only). CDP's minimizes face to face interactions, reduces risk to students, faculty and staff and limits the number of non-ISU vehicles and pedestrian traffic on campus. CDP's also provide a more streamlined and efficient delivery model by consolidating multiple carrier deliveries into one single stop, reducing end-customer interruptions. Need to know where your building CDP is located? Either contact Corey Bickelhaupt (515-294-1804) OR your building supervisor.

All end customers will receive a delivery notification via email once your item(s) are delivered to your building (if the item is addressed to a person).

Central Receiving will not charge for any routine deliveries to campus. Charges will be assessed for the following special handling requirements: assembly of goods, inside delivery (i.e. lab deliveries) & moving services.

Central Receiving will coordinate full-truck load/large item deliveries with the ISU end-customer. Call Corey Bickelhaupt 515-294-1804 for more details.
