Shipping Samples

All samples must be accompanied by a sample submission spreadsheet.

There is no Saturday pickup of samples.

Please ship samples only Monday through Wednesday due to delays in Fedex service to our building.

Samples shipped in coolers or containers that the sender wishes to have returned must be accompanied by a prepaid FEDEX shipping label charged to the sender's account. Any cooler or container not accompanied by a prepaid FEDEX return label will not be automatically returned.

Ship samples for analysis of CFCs, SF6, Dissolved gas N2/Ar, and Low-Level VOCs at the Reston USGS labs to the address below. Send all correspondence having to do with shipping to cfc@usgs.gov
