How to send your specimens
Pack them well to prevent breakage.
Larger specimens
Pack larger specimens in cartons, cushioned all around with packing material, ideally polystyrene foam chips or similar.
Smaller specimens
Send smaller dry specimens in containers that will not break or crush in the post, such as plastic or metal - not glass bottles unless they are well wrapped in packing material.
