Beamlines
Follow the steps listed below
Remove any old shipping labels from the dewar/blue box.
Fill-out the required
Return Samples Request Form and print it out. Each dewar/blue box requires a form. All Dewars will be topped off
with liquid nitrogen by Shipping and Receiving and shipped as Hazardous regardless if samples
are present.
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 or Carrier Account, or
SSRL
User Account. If you are not sure about the payment
method, contact
Lisa
Dunn.
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.
Insert the properly
printed-out form into a clear sticky envelope (available at each
crystallography beamline) and attach the envelope(s) to the dewar/blue box(s).
Bring the dewar/blue box to the "outgoing" shipments area at SSRL Shipping and
Receiving located in front of the stockroom.
If you are concerned about the status of your
dewar/blue box after submitting the above form, please send email
to dewars@smb-mail.slac.stanford.edu.
otherwise please contact Lisa
Dunn at SSRL (Remote users should contact their user-support to find out if their samples have been shipped back).
