Shop@UW

The recommended location to make business purchases that do not require additional approvals. Shop@UW is a university resource that saves time and money.

1. E-commerce ordering for purchasing contracts

2. Merchandise Distribution and Delivery

   To cut down on the amount and size of the delivery trucks on campus, products purchased on Shop@UW head to our warehouse for package consolidation and distribution. In compliance with UW-Madison’s Large Truck Policy, we sort the packages by delivery zone and ship them out immediately using our own vehicles that are less than 30 feet in length. MDS offers next-day delivery to the Dane County area on most items ordered. MDS will not accept any radioactive or perishable materials or any large non-palletized items.

3. Warehouse Storage Services

   The Shop@UW warehouse, where we receive and distribute your goods, is also available as warehouse space for your business or department. We offer centralized, convenient, state-of-the-art services, including:

   • Long- and short-term rates
   • Clean, dry, temperature-controlled facilities; ideal for records storage
   • Access to your stored inventory during normal business hours
   • Capability to develop customized electronic catalogs to allow web access and ordering of your inventory with next business-day delivery.
   • Storage rate lower than state contract rates, including pickup and delivery service.
