Shipping constraints
Dry-ice validated shippers have time limits. Overnight is common; same-day may help dense metro areas if offered.
Confirm cut-offs and weekend rules before promising internal delivery dates.
Receiving readiness
Faster shipping fails if no one is present to receive. Align speed with staffing.
Shipping speed never replaces identity and condition checks.
Documentation to request and file
Request the current insert, certificate of analysis format, donor eligibility summary approach, sterility testing description, and shipping instructions before the first purchase order.
At receipt, match lot ID, expiration, and shipper condition to the purchase order. Incomplete packs stay open—do not close them by assumption.
