Yale Central Campus Receiving
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.
