Please be conscious when placing perishable orders for delivery during the Thanksgiving Holiday week.
The WUSM and Danforth Receiving docks will be closed the following days:
Thursday, November 27, 2025
Friday, November 28, 2025
Most delivery services will be open and making deliveries to businesses on Friday, November 28, 2025. FedEx, UPS, and the other delivery services are aware that WUSM and Danforth docks will be closed, and they will not attempt to deliver to our docks when they are closed. Delivery services have no way of storing perishables over that period of time.
It is Very Important That Labs Not Place Orders for Perishables to Be Delivered on days that the docks are closed.
If you have any questions, please contact Steve Smith, Assistant Director, Mail and Receiving Services, at smith713@wustl.edu.
