Labs are responsible for packaging/preparing their own shipments.
Important Points
- Put the name of the PI on the package.
- If you are shipping with dry ice, you need to have the dry ice label on the box with how much dry ice is in there. Anything over 5 pounds needs to have paperwork filled out.
Please see the website for this at this link https://www.ups.com/content/us/en/resources/ship/materials/coolants.html. - We do not ship anything over five pounds.
