We are in the same building. We have not video-taped unboxing, but will take photos of boxes, wrappings, and items if found damaged. We also ask that the items are sent tracked and insured from the vendor, and that the tracking information is sent to us upon shipping. We save the tracking information and all documentation.

Thank you for the responses so far. If I may expand the question, for those of you who receive the materials in Acquisitions, are you housed in the same building? Also, do you have any procedures in place that would prove an item was received damaged, in the event the supplier denies knowledge of such damage existing before shipment, such as making a video of the item being unboxed?

Hi Julie,
We typically have the material ordered by and shipped to our Acquisitions unit as they handle all materials invoicing for the library and are the main point of contact for any shipping/customs broker questions. The items are then sent to our Metadata unit for processing and then on to SC.

Hello,
If your Acquisitions unit handles ordering for Special Collections, could you tell me if the materials are shipped to the Acquisitions unit or to the Special Collections unit? Thanks.
