To ship your DNA sample, place the vial in the clear plastic bag included in the kit and close the ziplock. Then, place the bag in the enclosed addressed envelope. You may also use a padded envelope of your own.
Mail the envelope to the laboratory at your postage expense. The postage price depends on your local postal rates and the shipping type you choose. The padded envelope weighs about 10 grams and the size is 160 mm x 95 mm.
Please note that DNA samples shipped from Switzerland, Norway, Australia, Argentina, Brazil, Mexico, Canada, the UK and the countries in the European Union have specific shipping requirements. Therefore, please refer to the instructions included in the kit or visit: How do I ship back my DNA sample and to which address?
Important: do not put any substance inside the vial other than the cheek swabs. Any other human sample such as hair, blood, nails, or personal objects will not be processed by the laboratory.
