(1).  All shipments should be placed early in the week (Monday - Wednesday only).

(2).  Shipments should be placed with the United Parcel Service (UPS) whenever possible. Please use the Priority Overnight delivery service (delivery before 10:30AM).

PLEASE NOTE: We no longer recommend using FedEx for delivery.  Beginning April 1, 2024, FedEx will only deliver to a central location and not individual laboratories. Your tracking number will show that the box is received, but that will only reflect deliver to the central location and not our laboratory. The central location has no access to freezer storage for temperature sensitive packages. 

(3).  Samples should be maintained at -80C until shipment and should be packed with 10-15 lbs of dry ice.

(4).  A packing list, preferentially as an Excel spreadsheet, along with the tracking number of the package should be sent to ginger.milne@vumc.org and stephanie.sanchez@vumc.org on the day of shipment.

Please contact the Dr. Milne with any questions.
