Couriers

Please follow the below for a step by step guide as to what you will now need to do in order to have a package sent out via courier.

  • You will need to contact citysprint/SMA to obtain a quote.  Let them know where the package is going to/from, the contents and whether the shipment is ambient, cold or dry ice.  They will then let you know how much this will be.
  • Once you have a quote, you will need to place a requisition using MyFinance for the supplier you have chosen to use and for the amount you have been given
  • Once this requisition is approved you will receive a PO number. Please give this PO number to the courier company (Remember to add G95 at the beginning) 
  • Now you will need to package your shipment appropriately.
  • Take the package to deliveries, leave it in the designated area and it will be collected around 2pm that afternoon for international and overnights. Same day couriers will also be collected at this time unless you specify otherwise
