Shipping Hints

Whenever you are shipping samples outside your institutions, these pieces of information can help avoid later problems.

• Ship Samples no later than Wednesday: Shipping samples inside the US after Wednesday increases the risk of having your samples sitting in the post office facility over the weekend in case there is a delay.
• Make sure there is an appropriate amount of ice/dry ice: whenever shipping samples in temperatures other than Room Temperature (Ambient), make sure there is enough amount of it to cover the time from posting until receiving. Factor in weekends, Holidays, and other causes of delays.
• Inform the FGA your samples are on their way: letting the recipient know that your samples are on their way will have another pair of eyes on it, which can help take action when things go unpredictable. Always send a copy of the filled Form# 0017 and the tracking number via email.
