eShip Global is a UH contracted
vendor that provides express
shipping services for university
departments to help manage their
shipping needs and reduce costs.
eShip Global is also a certified HUB
vendor, so departments that use this
service will receive HUB credit.
Placing orders with eShip Global
Instead of placing a shipping order
directly with a shipping vendor,
such as FedEx and UPS, university
departments can go to the eShip
Global system and view all shipping
options (i.e., overnight, next day,
2-day delivery, etc.) available from
different shipping companies. All
shipping charges listed in the eShip
Global system reflect the lowest
prices available to the university
based on state contract and group
purchasing rates. Departments are
required to enter the cost center to
be charged for their shipments and a
purpose/benefit statement at the
time of order.
Service Charges
eShip Global charges $0.75 for each
domestic shipment and $1.00 for
international shipments, which will
be added to the department�s
shipping charge.
Payments to eShip Global
On a weekly basis, eShip Global will
send an electronic file containing
all charges and cost center
information to Accounts Payable. The
file will be automatically converted
into vouchers and payments are
generated based on the cost centers
entered by the departments.
Therefore, departments do not need
to create vouchers to pay eShip
Global.
