Delivery Information

When ordering equipment or supplies from vendors it is important to give the vendor the complete mailing address along with a contact name, phone number and department name.  This allows the vendor to contact you when they are delivering a package.  If the vendor leaves the package in the lobby of one of our buildings, having contact information on the package helps us track down where the package belongs.

If a delivery requires a loading dock, there is a single-bay dock located in the COMRB.

The building address for the COMRB is 909 S. Wolcott Ave., however, the unmanned COMRB Dock (single bay) is located on Taylor Street just east of Wolcott Avenue.  No loading/unloading equipment is available.  Departments should request a call from the delivery company when they are 15 mins out so you can meet them at the dock and direct them to your lab.

Before committing to the delivery using the unmanned Wood St. Dock (840 S. Wood St.), you should obtain the exact dimensions of the crates including the height (while on their forklift or however they will be transporting them), take a tape measure and make certain that the crates will fit through all doorways between the dock and your lab door.

It is strongly suggested that you ask for white glove service which includes delivery to the lab, uncrating and removal of packing materials.  If the item is going to be left at the dock, the department MUST make arrangements in advance for the UIC Movers to move the equipment to the lab the same day.  This can be done via a billable service request in FM Web.

A department may have items delivered to the UIC central dock at 1515 W. 15th Street.  A billable service request via FM Web can be placed to have the item uncrated, dispose of the pallet and all packing materials and delivered to the final destination.
