High-priority consignments with stricter requirements on traceability, delivery reliability, transport temperature and/or shorter delivery times
The service Your Special Delivery Service (YSDS) should be used both internationally and nationally for all high-priority consignments with stricter requirements on traceability, delivery reliability, transport temperature and/or shorter delivery times, etc.
These consignments include
- Imports: to allow Umeå University to keep a simplified customs declaration procedure, we need to provide Swedish Customs with correct statistics, and it is thus of vital importance that all imports are handled by YSDS. Please note that it is the ordering party's responsibility to ensure that each consignment has a clear addressee.
- Express consignments: such as documents, packages and pallets.
- Urgent domestic deliveries: for instance with delivery on the same day or early the following day.
- Sensitive consignments: including biological samples, dangerous goods, art works, temperature-controlled goods (liquid nitrogen, dry ice, +2-8ºC, etc.), and live animals.
- Bulky goods: including instruments, apparatus and pallets.
- High-value goods: including paintings, sculptures, instruments, etc.
YSDS chooses the ideal alternative for your item based on destination, goods type and priority. They ensure that the package is properly packed and labelled. They also handle consignment notes and customs declarations. With YSDS, you can pass on all the responsibility for how your shipment will be handled or you can request that a specific company handles your shipment. YSDS also handles larger goods such as pallets and bulky goods.

YSDS will also handle all imports as it is an important part of Umeå University's reporting to the Swedish Customs.
Import with FedEx
The FedEx network in northern Sweden is not efficient enough to meet YSDS and Umeå University's expectations for delivery time and quality. Imports booked with FedEx from, for example, the USA to Umeå tend to take longer than desired to reach the recipient. Temperature-controlled transport runs a higher risk of not arriving on time, which can damage the contents.
To prevent and counter the above problems, YSDS strongly recommends that the recipient at Umeå University ask the sender to book the transport to the YSDS office in Stockholm. Then YSDS can book a new transport from Stockholm to Umeå with a better suited forwarder to avoid delays and possible temperature deviations. State Umeå University as "Importer of Record". If you have questions or concerns about the routine, please contact YSDS on +46 10 106 00 50 or order.swe@ysds.com.
