Shipping Cultures
DeWayne Schaaf recommends the following procedures for shipping cultures with the USA states and territories [1]:
- Use 15ml centrifuge tubes from Cynmar LLC - Wine & Brew. They are great quality and have a very low rate of leakage, especially when combined with electrical tape.
- Place each liquid filled tube into its own snack sized baggie to minimize cross contamination if they do happen to leak.
- Each of these smaller bags will be placed into a quart Ziplock.
- My main shipping container are Uline Poly bubble mailers. I don't tend to use ice packs as I've found them unnecessary when shipping in favorable temps (use ice packs during the summer).
- USPS is my preferred shipping method. Using first class shipping, my packages typically take no more than 3 days to reach somewhere in the USA and cost right around $3, and that includes a tracking number. Shipping rates are roughly the same for any USA state or territory. The 48 continental states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Guam all cost roughly the same.
