Outgoing/Incoming Freight
Distribution Center's Shipping and Receiving division offers outgoing shipping, special delivery, and distribution of received and/or ordered items to campus departments.
- CU Boulder Distribution Center shipping services (including hazardous materials) are offered at exclusively negotiated discounted rates — typically 70% less than a direct quote from freight companies.
- Hazardous Materials Shipping - Our staff is International Air Transport Association (IATA) and United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) certified in international and domestic shipping of hazardous materials and we are always willing to talk with you about any concerns you might have. Hazardous materials shipments includes a fee for handling and preparation charge.
- Special deliveries (such as artwork, non-standard sizes, etc.), packaging/crating for freight and hazardous materials shipments, and special services (such as un-crating centrally received freight) are billed for labor time, truck rental, and materials.

- contact person and telephone number
