At UF: The Fiscal Assistant indicated on your Account Registration form will be emailed the invoice with instructions to return chartfield information to Caroline Long. When your fiscal assistant changes, please let us know. A PO account can also be set up in advance.
Not at UF: The Fiscal assistant will be emailed the invoice and payment by check will be needed before return of slides.

Shipping instructions: Keep specimens immersed in leak-proof containers. Double wrap inside sealable plastic bags with absorbent material in case the first container leaks. Pack in shipping box and cushion with additional absorbent material.

Include a hardcopy of the Account Registration with FedEx address and account # and a Submission form as shipment manifest. Include MPC on FedEx tracking notifications so we know when to expect your package.
