Central Receiving Deliveries
Central Receiving only delivers packages to mail stops for departments, not to specific locations (see lists in numeric or department order). It is the responsibility of the department to distribute packages from the mail stop to their final destination.
To request a new mail stop, or change an existing mail stop, contact OIT Business Services at oit_business@boisestate.edu, or call (208) 426-1433.
Personal Packages and Mailings
Central Receiving does not handle packages sent via USPS. All packages to be mailed can be taken to Bronco Express in the Student Union.
No personal mail/packages are to be shipped to campus. Shipping personal mail/packages to campus is a misuse of state funds.
Central Store
Central Sales is operated by the Central Receiving Department. We sell and deliver custodial and other maintenance supplies to the campus. Please email centralreceiving@boisestate.edu if you have questions.

Packages/Freight
Central Receiving is the campus delivery point for all ground packages, air letters and overnight deliveries from UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Airborne. We also receive most in-bound truck shipments and all items purchased on Boise State purchase orders. Personal packages should not be shipped to Boise State Central Receiving as it is considered a misuse of state funds.
- Our Responsibility
Central Receiving takes responsibility for any packages that are lost or damaged, due to our error, as long as we are notified within 30 days of original delivery. - Outbound Shipments
UPS and Fed-Ex ARS (Authorized Return Service) packages will be picked up by Central Receiving and shipped through the regular delivery service. All other outbound packages should be routed through Mail Services. For further assistance using FedEx special services, contact State Mail Services at (208) 332-1950.
