Introducing YourYale
The It’s Your Yale website is now home to a new weekly e-newsletter, YourYale, for and about the staff; learn more about what to expect.
Transport, Receiving and Storage has seven receiving stations around campus and takes in over 100,000 packages each year.
All individuals (shippers) requesting or making shipments for which Yale is responsible must do so through Yale’s approved shipping application (eShipGlobal), except for intra-campus shipments, as detailed below. Shippers who fail to use Yale’s approved shipping application, without first receiving an approved exception (see Special Situations & Exceptions, below), will not be reimbursed for costs incurred. Violations of this policy involving a University Purchasing Card (PCard) are subject to the provisions of Policy 3215 Yale Purchasing Card and Procedure 3215 PR.01 Yale Purchasing Card Procedure, including all pertinent disciplinary measures.
All shipments for which Yale is responsible must comply with the following regulations:
Intra-campus shipments include all shipments between Yale locations (e.g., West Campus, Medical, Science Hill). Intra-campus shipments are not required to be processed through Yale’s approved shipping application (except for those involving research/clinical materials, as described below). Instead, intra-campus shipments should be arranged directly through Yale Transport, Receiving & Storage (TR&S) or a specialty mover. Shippers should use their best judgment (assessing size, value, and any other relevant considerations) in deciding whether to utilize these services or transport goods by other means (e.g., on foot, personal vehicle). Shippers must not use common carriers (e.g., UPS, FedEx, DHL, World Courier) for intra-campus shipments.
Package inquires please complete the TR&S request form.
For more information about our receiving stations see below:
The Central Receiving Station is responsible for receiving any Yale authorized shipment and to redeliver or arrange for redelivery by a specialist contractor within the Yale community including the “Central”, “Science” and “Medical School” areas. Except for the months of August and September, most shipments are scheduled for redelivery the following workday. Many receiving stations at Yale are not equipped to handle larger shipments. When they are mistakenly routed to one of those receiving stations, the shipment must then be rerouted to Central Receiving for processing.
John Ghiroli has been lead person for the Central Receiving Station since 2012 and is available to answer any concerns you may have. He can be reached at (203) 436-4595.
We are not equipped to receive: foodstuffs, certain hazardous materials, live animals, certain chemicals and gas cylinder shipments.

The main responsibility of the Science area Receiving station is to receive shipments addressed to 266 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT 06511, for the departments located in the buildings of: Bass, JWG, KBT, OML and SPL. Departments within these buildings are responsible to pick up their shipments on a daily basis from the Receiving Room. Receiving does not deliver. Telephone: (203) 432-5156
Note: Kline Geology Laboratory (KGL), Peabody Museum (PM), and Sterling Chemistry Laboratory (SCL) have their own receiving areas. Shipments for these areas should be directed to their receiving stations.
Shipments for WNSL should be routed to WNSL, Room #, 272 Whitney Avenue. They do their own receiving.
The Receiving Station is staffed by Maurice Fuller and Marvin Wint they always eager to answer your delivery questions. Contact him at (203) 432-5156.
The Receiving station for the Science area is located on the ground level of the Bass Building, Room #109A, 266 Whitney Avenue, New Haven, CT 06511.
This Science Area Receiving station was designed to accept and process United Parcel Service, Federal Express and similar type/size/weight shipments. Receiving is equipped to handle packages smaller than a two drawer file cabinet, weighing less than 70 pounds. We are also equipped to receive Radioactive materials.
Should a larger than normal shipment arrive for a department serviced by this station, the receiving staff will attempt to convince the carrier driver to wait while an attempt is made to contact the department. The department will have to arrange services to accept, unload and store the large shipment. Common carrier drivers are not required to wait for arrangements to be made to unload their freight, thus receiving staff cannot guarantee they will always be able to convince the driver to wait. That is why large shipments (physically larger than a two drawer file cabinet or weigh in excess of 70 lbs.) should be originally routed to Central Receiving located at 344 Winchester Ave., New Haven, CT 06511. The shipment will then be redelivered to the Yale department by TR&S delivery personnel, usually on the following work day.
