CHANGE TO OPERATIONS

Updated 8/21/2020

Dear UW Surplus Customers,



UW Surplus continues to work with our University partners to take the necessary steps to protect and safeguard our community. Safety and well being is our number one priority.

The UW Surplus Store will continue to operate under temporary service adjustments to help support critical campus functions and mitigate the spread of COVID-19. During this time, we will continue to provide services to UW Departments, Non-Profits, and Government Agencies. Online purchase options for members of the public are listed under “General Public” hours above.

As this continues to be an evolving situation, Surplus is committed to keeping you informed. We will post service updates online as they become available.

If you have any questions, please contact Surplus Property at 206-685-1573.

We do what we do for all the design enthusiasts, bargain hunters, environmentalists, repurposers, DIY-ers, artists, and surplus aficionados out there. We look forward to the time we can open our doors safely and welcome you all back.

Until that time, stay safe out there, Huskies.

Deliveries normally occur on Wednesday afternoons. Standard labor and transportation costs will be assessed for deliveries to all University facilities on the purchasing department’s budget number.
