Outgoing Shipments & Packages

Shipping Carrier

As of January 2009, UPS is the only carrier the University authorizes for shipping outgoing packages. Additional information on carriers is available on our Shipping Carriers page.

For your convenience, all outgoing packages are to be processed using the UPS online system- CampusShip. University employees can be set up to use CampusShip by emailing Alysa Ouellette at ouelleal@udmercy.edu or by submitting a Work Request. University students can visit us in Mail Services to process a package. Find out more about Resident Student Mail!

Package Preparation

Please be aware, all incoming and outgoing packages, excluding resident student mail, are property of University of Detroit Mercy. Personal property should never be shipped through the University's Mail Service.
All packages are to be prepared by the sender according to the shipping company's specifications. Packages are to be wrapped in a carrier approved box or shipping envelope and addressed according to the carrier's specifications. Incomplete processing by the sender will cause the package to be refused or returned to the department sending it.

Supplies

Shipping supplies such as large boxes, are the responsibility of the sending department. If you need any UPS or USPS supplies, please contact Mail Services.

Shipping from the University

Because of its quickness and low cost, UPS Ground is highly encouraged for all outgoing packages shipped from the University. Enter your Zip Code to see a map of how long your UPS Ground delivery will take!
Next day shipments should only be used in emergency situations or if your package is time-definite.

Drop Off Times

For all outgoing shipments and packages, please have your deliveries to Mail Services before 10:00am and before 3:00pm to make certain they are delivered that day.
If you have a processed package within 16" x 13" x 3" measurements, a UPS Drop Box is available on the McNichols Campus behind the Gate House off the Livernois entrance. UPS has a daily pick up around 7:00pm for your after-hour packages.
