The University categorizes any expense related to the transportation of goods as freight expenses. You might also know them as shipping and handling or delivery fees. Per guidance issued on June 11th from the University, freight expenses should not be included in the amount for requisition requests, including both non-catalog and Buckeyebuy orders. Behind the scenes, quotes with freight expenses will be reviewed by the Procured Shared Service Center (PSSC) and will be added to the header section of the purchase order. Freight expenses will be paid during the invoice process, amounts under $300 will be automatically approved and any over $300 will require additional approval. Please note, if you have limited budget constraints, freight will no longer encumber on your balances so keep that in mind when you are ordering goods that will incur freight fees.
