Shipping Information

For Doctor's Data direct account customers whose home country of origin is the United States, Canada, Australia, Ireland or the United Kingdom, prepaid shipping is provided for specimens sent from that home country. If prepaid shipping is available, a prepaid billable stamp or an Air Waybill together with instructions will be included in the test collection kit.

If you or your patient are shipping from any other country or if a level of service greater than that provided is desired, then your own shipping arrangements must be made at your own expense (otherwise these additional charges will be billed to the ordering practitioner). To ensure efficient test processing and to avoid shipping costs, please follow the steps below:

Within the US

  • Ship specimens Monday through Friday. If you complete the collection on the weekend, hold the specimen until the following Monday to ship.
  • Place the cardboard kit box containing the specimens and the completed test requisition form into the FedEx Clinical Pak.
  • Write your name and address in the space provided on the prepaid Billable Stamp and tear off the Customer Receipt for your records.
  • To schedule a pickup, call FedEx toll-free at 1-800-463-3339 (1-800-GO FEDEX). When you hear the automated greeting, say "Schedule a Pick-up." At the next prompt, say "Schedule a Pick-up with a Label or Stamp." You will then be asked if the word "Stamp" is written on the waybill; reply "Yes". You will then be prompted for your address information.
