  42. NOTE: FedEx is the Only international shipping service we provide so only select “FedEx web services” under “Carrier”.
  43. Note: your only shipment options for international shipments are either “FedEx International Priority”, or “FedEx International Economy”.
    • “FedEx International Priority” will get your package to its international destination within 1 to 3 business days depending on the country you’re shipping to. This option is obviously more expensive
    • “FedEx International Economy” is the cheaper alternative and will get your package delivered normally within 4-5 business days.

  49. If everything looks right click “Next.” This brings up your “Ship request form”.
  50. If the form does not show on your screen, make sure to enable pop-ups and choose “Always allow”.
    • If the form pops up, click “Print” and add this page to your package by either tape or put it in a pouch.
    • Note: The “Ship request form” is NOT a FedEx shipping label. Our SendSuite staff will use this form to print out the shipping label when we process your package. You are able to print as many ship requests as desired. You will only be charged for the package that comes down to Print & Mail for processing.
  51. DO NOT DROP THIS PACKAGE OFF AT A FEDEX.
    • Again, your “Ship request form” is not a shipment label and your package will be lost if sent anywhere other than University Print and Mail Services.
  52. When the form is attached to your package, drop the package off at any SendSuite drop-off location located around campus or give us a call at (801)581-6171 for a special pickup.
  53. If you forgot to print the Ship request form or the popup blocker blocked the form from showing on your screen, first enable popup blocker and then go to the “Send to” tab by clicking “Next” on the home screen.
  54. Under “Favorites and recipients”, go to the “Recall existing requisition” section. If this is your first order click on “Reprint requisition” to reprint the form.
  55. If you have shipped before, click on the 3 dots. The most recent shipment is on the top of the list.
    • Select your latest shipment and click “Select”, then click “Reprint requisition”.
    • NOTE the actual box will remain blank.
