Shipping and Receiving

Contact: receiving@igb.illinois.edu

Office Information

IGB Shipping and Receiving is here to assist you in mailing your parcels worldwide.  We are open Monday – Friday from 8:00 AM -12:00 PM and 1:00- 4:30 PM to receive parcels (closed during the lunch hour).  To ensure a parcel is sent out the day requested, the Shipping Form must be completed, and the parcel must be brought to IGB Receiving by 2:30 pm so we can complete the processing and meet the pickup schedule of the UPS and FedEx Carriers.  

IGB Shipping Form

We have a new version of the IGB Shipping Form that is easy to complete and is accessible from a computer or phone. It allows you to keep a copy of your shipping requests, and you can start and save the form to complete it later while you gather more information. You will need to log in with your University NetID. 

If you are sending a parcel internationally, please get in touch with receiving@igb.illinois.edu and ask for the Commercial Ship form and an IGB Letterhead for international shipping.

Mail and Parcels 

Mail and parcels delivered to IGB throughout the day are sorted and delivered to the IGB drop zones throughout the facility.   An email is then sent to the name on the incoming parcel, notifying them that a parcel is ready for pick up at the designated drop zone for their area.  On occasion, when there is no name listed on the parcel, we do our best to locate someone who may be associated with the purchase. If you think a parcel was delivered and you can’t find it, look for it in the drop zone and then email IGB Receiving; we may be holding it without a name or location.
