The University of Waterloo Central Stores Shipping Department is located in the ECH (East Campus Hall) building at 263 Phillip Street. The department provides a third-party shipping system called 2Ship for all outgoing shipments leaving the University.
Access to 2Ship is limited to full-time faculty or staff who perform shipping duties for their department. Individuals who do not ship on behalf of their department should not apply. Eligible users may complete the 2Ship application form (pdf)
Important: Administrative Assistants and Senior Administrators are responsible for notifying Central Stores (tbeatson@uwaterloo.ca) when a 2Ship user changes departments or leaves the University. Departments must review shipping access annually and request all additions or removals by email.
For all 2Ship system issues, shipping advice, or to arrange pickups (including large crates, heavy equipment, or skid shipments), please email Trevor Beatson.
Shipping Cut-off Time: 2:30 p.m. Monday–Friday (contact the shipping office for exceptions).
Important notice for USA shipments:
When entering commodity items under the "Contents" section of the 2Ship form, please ensure the correct Country of Manufacture is entered for each item.
Shipments valued over $800 USD require additional documentation if:
- The items were manufactured in the U.S.A., or
- The items were manufactured outside the U.S.A. but exported from the U.S. within the past three years.
Use a Manufacturers Affidavit form,(completed and signed by the manufacturer). Upload the completed form to the Order Documents section of the 2Ship form.
If this form cannot be obtained, you must instead complete and upload both a Foreign Shipper Declaration form and an Importer Declaration form.
For clarification, please email Trevor Beatson
The University's deductible is $5,000.00 for all outgoing courier shipments. For questions regarding insurance, please email Jamie Mahony or call ext. 43686.
