Dropping Off Your Sample

📮 Posting Your Samples

Express Post is recommended – it helps your sample arrive in the best condition for accurate testing, but it’s absolutely fine to use the general mail.

Packing tips:

Seal all samples securely to prevent leaks. Ideally, place each sample in a second sealed bag for extra protection.

Include your completed submission form in the satchel.

Send multiple samples together in one satchel to save on postage costs.

In hot weather, especially during summer, consider adding a small ice brick to keep samples cool – particularly if sending via regular post.
