CSMR also provides a unique program, Stores On-Site Stocking (SOS), that serves campus departments with customized stocking services to ensure customers have the right products, in the right quantities, available for their use at the right time. By managing departmental supply areas for departments, valuable personnel can devote their time to more important tasks.
A full line of computers, software, printers, and computer-related hardware are also available through CSMR. Full-time sales and technical consultants are available to assist departments with their computer needs. Qualified technicians are available to provide warranty service, as well as post-warranty repair service for specified brands of personal computer systems and peripherals.
Students, faculty and staff are also able to take advantage of great pricing by ordering computer hardware and software for personal use through CSMR's Micro Order Center. For more information, please visit Campus Stores, Mail & Receiving (CSMR).
Central Receiving
The Central Receiving area is responsible for pick-ups and deliveries to all areas of the campus. Not only do they deliver orders placed through Campus Stores, they are also the receiving site for other orders placed by departments across campus. Most freight companies are only willing to deliver to a street address and most campus buildings do not have adequate receiving facilities to accommodate large truck deliveries. CSMR's Central Receiving receives the deliveries for campus departments and re-delivers them to a specific room or lab.
Tech Zone
Faculty and staff should contact Tech Zone at the Illini Union for computer purchases.
