If you are not looking for stocks of specific genotypes, but planning to place orders of many stocks for screening experiments, for example, click "Advanced search" in Order and select as many stocks you need for a week.
If the number reaches to the maximum of the week shipping schedule (200 for a person per week/ 650 for a week total/ 250 extras allowed to book for the next week shipping), you will be asked to order next week, since we send out stocks once a week.
If you encounter any problem in the ordering process, please  send mail to DGRC.

| Shippment choice and their service |
|
Shipment by EMS courier service and ordinary air mail at your choice.
The fly stocks will be sent by EMS (Express Mail Service: a
traceable courier service run by the Post Office in some countries) as
default instead of ordinary air mail, because EMS provides Item Numbers
with which users can trace on the web where the fly stocks are, and
many users request to use the EMS. In terms of shipping cost EMS is
more expensive. For example, shipping 5 stocks to USA is 330 JPY by air
mail whereas 1,200 JPY by EMS (see Postage Rate).If you would prefer
your stock package to be sent by ordinary air mail (note that you
cannot trace the package), please indicate your choice to "Air Mail".
