SHIPPING INFORMATION

Please know that the US Postal Service provides Requirements for Mailing Dead Animals or Parts of Animals in Sec. DMM 601.9 and Pub 52 526. Items must be shipped frozen and packaged to avoid leaking or other spills. The following is not meant to be discouraging, but to prevent spoiled product and possibly large fines for you. Too many bloody packages are being shipped.  I know they seem fine when you mail them, but after only a few hours out of the freezer they begin to leak, and damages occur.  These leaking packages are subsequently not delivered, held, and may be discarded by the carrier.  All carriers have similar rules. 
More information on USPS requirements can be found on page 102 here: http://pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/pubs/pub52/pub52.pdf

General care and shipping tips 

Wrap specimens in DRY paper towel and then place in ziplock bags and freeze.
​Ship on a Monday or a Tuesday. During winter season ship 2-day ground. During summer and warmer months ship overnight or express, with cooler packs or dry ice. Please do not ship signature required. Include instructions, contact information, and a deposit in the box.  When choosing your box and shipping materials, keep in mind lighter is better and smaller is better. Use the smallest box possible to accommodate your items to save on shipping costs.
