estimates_at_watson.wustl.edu We recommend using a
specialized overnight carrier or courier such as
FedEx, DHL, UPS or World Courier. We do not
recommend using the United States Postal Service
(USPS) for your shipment. Samples, especially
those shipped overnight, will be delayed when
using USPS due to the internal mail system at
Washington University. Please provide a sample
submission sheet for all samples that are
submitted. If you do not have a sample
submission sheet for a shipment, please email
estimates_at_watson.wustl.edu. Samples left or sent
without a sample submission sheet will not enter
the pipeline. Please call or email if you have
questions. An email is also appreciated to let
us know that samples have been sent. When
sending samples to the Genome Center at
Washington University please be sure to follow
all shipping guidelines with respect to local and
federal agencies. Samples that are held and
questioned by such agencies are not the
responsibility of the Genome Center and it is the
responsibility of the collaborator to resolve
such issues if and when they should
arise. Please label all items clearly.
