FEDERAL EXPRESS
Boston University shares a unique partnership with Federal Express. User departments enjoy discounts on most shipments (exceptions are Freight, Same-Day Service, and First Overnight). Discounts range anywhere from 45% to 58% depending on service requested and shipment destination.
Mail Services also downloads Federal Express invoices for express shipments which are paid online. In most cases invoices are paid within three days. Exceptions to downloaded invoices are: Freight, Same Day Service, First Overnight, and Ground. Invoices for these services are sent through the mail and are paid manually.
If you are interested in setting up an account, please contact Mail Services, Sheila McCann at 617-353-6680, or e-mail smccann@bu.edu. Information required is department name and address; unit and department chargeback information and source code, where applicable; and type of supplies needed.
