Beginning July 1, Mail Services will manage delivery of Fisher Scientific packages on campus. 

The goal is to reduce carbon emissions and the number of vehicles on campus and increase safety and security by utilizing university employees already servicing existing delivery routes. In addition, customers will have better tracking visibility via AggieLogistics once the packages arrive on campus.

Known as the Last Mile Initiative, the project is currently focused on the approximately 25,000 packages coming in to campus from Fisher Scientific annually, but the intent is to expand to other large suppliers in the future to further reduce the number of non-university vehicles on campus.

Here’s how the Last Mile Initiative will work:

• Pallets of Fisher Scientific packages will arrive early each morning at Central Receiving,
• the packages will be assigned to department delivery locations in AggieLogistics,
• Mail Services will deliver the packages to the locations that day, or the next day if the location is closed, and,

• the recipient will receive a confirmation email once the package has been delivered.

   

We are excited to contribute to UC Davis’s sustainability goals by offering this service. Customers should not experience any changes in delivery service levels, but we encourage you to reach out to mailservices@ucdavis.edu if you have any questions or concerns.
