Threatened UPS Strike plus Correcting Shipping Address for Purchase Requisitions
There is the potential for a UPS strike when their current contract ends on July 31, 2023. Please pre-plan your supply orders to minimize potential delivery delays.
Current issue with Amazon and UPS deliveries: Packages have been left in the L Building lobby.
Please look at your shipping labels. Many are incomplete. Please check your personal profiles in the Ariba system to ensure your shipping address is clear and complete, including the building, floor and room number.
