At home delivery of oversized items
Government Affairs is happy to inform community members that, effective Monday, July 6, the delivery of large or oversized items by suppliers (eg. IKEA) can be arranged to their home at KAUST.
Community members can create a one-day pass for delivery personnel through the VMS system, by selecting “Create Personal Visit.” Personal visitors are not allowed at this time.
Please be sure to ask the delivery company for the details of their driver as requested in the system. The individual coming into KAUST will be under the host responsibility and the host must ensure the Keep KAUST Safe guidelines are adhered to.
Smaller items or items from individual sellers should continue to be delivered and collected from the visitor center parking area.
