About Us
UNL Marketplace is a centralized eCommerce platform for the units and departments of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. It was developed to provide a single, robust infrastructure for online transactions, integrated into the university website. Each store within the Marketplace is maintained by a representative of that respective unit/department.
The Marketplace system and infrastructure is developed, maintained, and supported by the university's Internet and Interactive Media group, which is a partnership of the Office of University Communication and Information Technology Services.
Shipping Information
We have partnered with UPS and the United States Postal Service to provide shipping service to our customers.
How does shipping work?
Based on the items placed in your cart, we instantly request a shipping quote from our carriers. This shipping quote is calculated by the carrier based on the weights of your items and the average package size. The shipping amount is not determined by UNL Marketplace or store owners.
Please note: UPS does not deliver to P.O. Boxes. When providing shipping address information, please provide a full street address to ensure quick and accurate delivery.
Under normal circumstances an order should be processed within two days and a shipping confirmation, along with tracking details (if applicable), should be sent.
In some cases, we can accommodate international shipping. However, due to the wide variety of products/services offered, you should attempt to contact the store first to confirm product availability and more accurate shipping expectations.
How long will shipping take?
After an order is processed and handed over to a shipping carrier, the carrier is responsible for the timely delivery of your item(s). Depending on the service level you requested from that carrier, the time to delivery can range from 1 day to 8 or more [business] days.
