School of Packaging Career Fair

SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DISPLAYS AND MATERIALS

The School of Packaging has partnered with University Stores, MSU’s Integrated Demand Chain Managers to handle displays and materials.  Except for charges by external service providers, this service is available for no additional cost.

There are two new issues regarding materials handling this year.

1. University Stores will not be responsible for negotiating and printing your return labels.  You are expected to buy return labels before the Career Fair and bring them along to be attached when you are done packing.  A fee of the cost of shipping plus $25.00 for each package will be charged to you if University Stores handles this process.

2. University Stores has implemented an online package tracking system for your materials once they have arrived at MSU.  This website conveniently uses your carrier’s tracking number (UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.)

The instructions below must be followed to avoid logistics problems and/or loss of materials.  MSU, University Stores, East Lansing Marriott Hotel, and the School of Packaging are not responsible or liable for lost or misdirected articles.

Shipping Packages TO the Career Fair

NOTE:  Packages MUST be received by University Stores between one and five business days before the Career Fair (no earlier than October 15, 2008 and no later than October 19, 2008).  Packages received outside that time window will not be accepted.

DO NOT SEND PACKAGES DIRECTLY TO THE EAST LANSING MARRIOTT HOTEL OR ANY OTHER LOCATION AT MSU.

Clearly label all cartons and containers with the following information:

Return Shipping of Packages FROM the Career Fair:

After the Career Fair, University Stores will pick up all packages that need to be returned to you and notify your own service provider (UPS, FedEx, DHL, etc.) to pick up the materials.  As noted above, prepaid return shipment labels are required.

1. Affix prepaid return labels.

2. University Stores will pick up the packages at the East Lansing Marriott and arrange pick-up by the delivery service provider you have specified.
