Central Receiving and Delivering
The Jackson State University Central Receiving Department receives, inspects, processes and redistributes all incoming packages for University departments. Delivery to a central location increases property accountability and eliminates unnecessary truck traffic on campus, making the campus safer for students, faculty and staff.
Departments should get an approved JSU Purchase Order Number before ordering products. Additionally, please make sure to ensure your orders have the correct mailing information listed. Failure to follow JSU approved policies and procedures may delay the delivery of your items and receipt of payment in Banner.

Trying to Locate a Package?
First, track your package on the FEDEX or UPS site to verify that Central Receiving has received your package.
If you have confirmed we have received your package: have your shipper tracking number and Purchase Order Number ready and email centralreceiving@jsums.edu.
Received a Package in Error?
Department offices should check our deliveries for accuracy. If we have delivered a package in error, call (601) 979-4181 to have it picked up. Once delivered and signed for, all packages become the responsibility of the department.
Direct Delivery
In special cases, you can have your new property delivered directly to your department. However, you must submit Proof of Delivery (i.e., signed packing slip, invoice and/or delivery ticket) and a completed Direct Delivery form to centralreceiving@jsums.edu.
– A vendor CANNOT be paid until you have submitted the required documentation.
Non-Identifiable JSU PO Package Delivered to Central Receiving
Your approved JSU Purchase Order Number should appear on all packages, invoices, bill of lading and shipping correspondence. If the Central Receiving team delivers a NON-IDENTIFIABLE JSU P0 package to you and you later receive a JSU approved P0#, it is your responsibility to provide that information to our department. Vendors CANNOT be paid until we receive a completed NON-IDENTIFIABLE JSU P0 PACKAGE form and a copy of the Purchase Order. Send the requested information tocentralreceiving@jsums.edu.
– A vendor CANNOT be paid until you have submitted the required documentation.
Plan Ahead
Items received by Central Receiving should be delivered within 2-5 business days unless special handling is required. If you are ordering large, oversized or extremely heavy equipment, make sure these items will fit on a regular delivery box truck and do not exceed weight limits for elevators. Additionally, there may be major delays in you receiving extremely large equipment that is delivered to Central Receiving as we do not have industrial motor vehicles to transport large equipment to and across campus. In these cases, you should have extremely large equipment shipped directly to your department. You will need to complete the Direct Delivery process.
Central Receiving does not move furniture to accommodate incoming equipment nor unpack or uncrate merchandise.
Central Receiving cannot provide storage or hold merchandise for departments. It is the responsibility of the requesting department to make storage arrangements for all shipments.
