To assure smooth arrival of your shipping container at the beamlines, please use only FedEx Priority Next Day or UPS Next Day delivery options.
Do not use Ground delivery options; these run a significant risk of dewars warming up en route.
All in-coming shipping containers arrive via the ANL "Shipping and Receiving" department (typically closes at approximately 3pm, Monday-Friday; closed weekends). If your shipment arrives at ANL after 3pm M-F, or on a weekend, it will be retained on the courier delivery truck, then arrive at ANL via a second delivery attempt on the next available weekday.
