Outbound pick-ups and drop-offs
Outbound FedEx shipments can be picked up or dropped off via the following methods.
If your nine-digit FedEx account number appears on the airbill, regardless of whether you generated the airbill online at fedex.com or printed it on a paper form, there are several options for your shipment:
- Drop your package in any FedEx drop box (on- or off-campus), at the UPC Mail Stop, or the HSC One Stop.
- Take your package to a FedEx service center.
- Place the package with your department’s outgoing mail for pick-up by Mailing Services.
- Call FedEx directly at 800-463-3339 (800-GO-FEDEX), to schedule a pick-up from your department.
For same-day departmental pick-ups at no charge:
- Call FedEx at 800-463-3339 (800-GO-FEDEX), before 3:00 p.m. (FedEx airbills for express services only; excludes FedEx Ground).
- Call Mailing Services at 213-821-1200 before 4:45 p.m. (UPC and HSC), or before 2:30 p.m. (Alhambra).
If you are using an Outgoing Mail Requisition:
- Place the package with your department’s outgoing mail for pick-up by Mailing Services.
- Drop your package at the UPC Mail Stop or the HSC One Stop before 4:00 p.m.
FedEx shipments on Outgoing Mail Requisitions cannot be dropped in a FedEx mailbox or handed directly to a FedEx representative.
