EXPRESS SHIPPING SERVICES
United Parcel Service (UPS)
UPS Stores Are Not Included
The University of Oklahoma has established an agreement with United Parcel Service (UPS) to provide express shipping services for all University departments on the Norman, Oklahoma City and Tulsa campuses, and by any authorized University employee from most other locations worldwide. The agreement allows both domestic and international air and ground express shipments at very competitive rates.
This agreement requires payment be made with your University Pcard. You cannot obtain the agreement rates unless you use your Pcard for payment.*
Before using UPS for shipping, open an account by calling the OU Administrator at UPS/OKC 1-866-307-4202. You will need to provide your Pcard number and expiration date to establish an account. If you have multiple Pcard's on different accounts, you may need to open an account for each Pcard.**
Please note that even if you have an existing UPS account, you will need to establish a new account, using your Pcard, to access the agreement rates.
It is strongly recommended that outgoing shipment air bills and pick-up requests be prepared on the UPS CampusShip website https://www.campusship.ups.com/login/ou
This helps ensure air bill accuracy, provides a shipment receipt with shipment cost (subject to confirmation of weight), and allows you to track the shipment from the web site. The University Internal Auditing Department and Pcard Administrator will accept the web shipment receipt as a Pcard receipt for auditing purposes.
Pcard transactions for UPS shipments will appear on your SAM monthly billing as “UPS.” Transactions are then easily identified by air bill number and destination zip code, and any specific identification information you have placed on the air bill (i.e., “B. Jones agreement”).
If you have any questions, the Purchasing Department contact is Craig Sisco, 405-325-5261 or e-mail craig-sisco@ouhsc.edu . For any UPS inquiries or problems please contact Keith Beall, OU Sales Representative at 405-409-5668 or kbeall@ups.com.
*The University is requiring express shipment payment to be made by Pcard to help curtail the large number of invoices processed through campus accounting. Express shipment invoices are one of the single largest areas requiring payment checks at the University, and payments with your Pcard will greatly enhance the University's ability to streamline the payment process.
**SAM allows for account number change when the cardholder reviews and reconciles transactions.
