As the agencies contracting with Velocity

Express carries insurance for lost items.
Q: What should I do if my delivery doesn’t arrive?
A: Inform your system contact.
Q: How will deliveries be made on days the library
is not open? (Doesn't apply to CDLC Libraries)
A: Member libraries who want delivery when they are
closed have provided their system with keys and access codes. Your system
will provide your current key and/or entry code to Velocity
Express to ensure daily delivery if the library is closed. If you
change your locks, make sure you
• Let your system know so that we can inform Velocity
Express.
• Give the new information/key to your system contact people.
Q: How do I suspend or change delivery services because
our library will be closed due to construction or an emergency? 
A: Call or email your system contact people as soon
as possible before closing, or immediately in the event of an emergency.
Q: What will happen to an item that loses its delivery
label?
A: The item will be returned to the owning library.
If there is no designation, the items will be sent to your system contact
people.
Q: What days will the delivery service be suspended?
A: There will be no delivery service to member libraries
during certain scheduled holiday days. Check your system's website or call your contact person for a list of scheduled holidays.
Q:What is the procedure for sending computer CPUs
to Joint Automation at SALS for repair?
A: Tape a routing slip marked SALS to the top of the
unit and put it with your delivery bags. Send an e-mail to computersupport@sals.edu
with the date the computer was shipped for repair and a description
of the problem. Computer Support will notify you by e-mail when they
ship it back.
Q: Is there any special procedure for sending dvds and other problematic
materials through the delivery?
A: For MVLS rotating collections of dvds and videos, MVLS will be purchasing
plastic cartons to secure them during delivery. Single copies of dvds
and other problematic materials should be placed in envelopes clearly
marked with the library destination code.
Q: May we send money through the delivery?
A: We recommend not sending any cash or checks through the delivery.
