Follow the steps listed below

  1. Remove any old shipping labels from the dewar.

    2. Delays in shipping may occur if the paperwork is not properly filled out.

    Make sure payment information is listed on your shipping form!   Acceptable methods of payment include: Pre-paid, Collect (COD), Carrier Account, or SSRL User Account. If you are not sure about the payment method,  contact Milo Lewis at SSRL Shipping and Receiving.

    In addition to your address - make sure to include a contact name and phone number on the shipping form so that we can contact you should a problem arise.

     

  2. Insert the properly filled-out form into a clear sticky envelope (available at each crystallography beamline) and attach the envelope(s) to the dewar(s).

Spokesperson:
