Your University is NUTS!  UPS is a VERY reliable company. We've used them for 
5 years now and NOT ONE package got lost or damaged.  And the shipping time
is far better that the US Postal Service (or the Canadian Postal Service for
that matter: they won't even allow floppies to be shipped without major
hassle).

An institution that refuses packages without even checking for damages is
what I would call a "bunch of bozos". Period.
