Frequent Asked Questions

Do You Ship Internationally?

We do ship internationally, but highly recommend that all international orders be shipped via Fedex. For orders over $1500 USD, FedEx international shipping (priority method with tracking) is included, for all other orders, inquire for a quote. We can use USPS priority, but discourage use of USPS first class mail for international orders at this time, unless the customer is willing to accept the sometimes 1-2 month or more shipping period for this method.

What Shipping Methods Are Available?

For domestic (USA) orders, all packages with an order value of less than $1000 USD will be sent via United States Postal Service (USPS) priority mail, a safe and cost-effective method. For orders over $1000 USD, FedEx shipping within the USA is included. We can also ship via UPS or DHL, but prefer to use FedEx or the United States Postal Service.

How Do I Track My Order?

Once you place your order, you will receive an order confirmation email. When your package is shipped (typically within 24 hours but sometimes up to 48 hours later), you will receive a second email with the USPS or FedEx tracking number for your package, which you can use to monitor its progress on its way to you.

How Long Will It Take To Get My Package?

Typically, USPS priority mail is delivered to most USA destinations in 2-5 days. USPS priority mail international takes 6-14 days to most countries, depending on distance and customs restrictions. FedEx priority international is typically less than one week from door-to-door.

How do I place an Order?

We use Shopify, a safe, encrypted payment processing and E-commerce system used and trusted by thousands of small businesses. Once you have added specimens to your cart online which you would like to purchase, simply hit “checkout’ and you will be taken to a secure page where you can enter shipping and personal information for your order, and securely pay.

Do I need an account to place an order?

You are welcome to use the one-time “guest checkout” option for your order, but we recommend creating an account, for easy future orders, getting on our email list for updates, shows, and special events, and also to hear about sales and promotions we will be having throughout the year.
