 How to request stocks
1. Register yourself.

2. Select stocks by stock numbers from our stock lists and send your request.

Users in Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan and USA
should note that we do not send Drosophila stocks without "import permit" or "label(s)".
We recommend you to arrange the import permits before you make orders from us.

 How to register
Please register yourself with the Drosophila Genetic Resource Center (DGRC) before you make any requests.

Please use the registration form.

After registration is completed, you will receive your DGRC ID number. Please use your DGRC ID when requesting stocks.


 How to request stocks in BULK
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 (240 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.


 Fees and payment

The payment is accepted by credit cards (MasterCard and VISA) only. We provide an online payment system by credit card through a cryptographically protected connection, SSL (Secure Socket Layer). To finish placing the order, you have to fulfill your credit card information (such as card numbers and expiration date), but these information will NOT be transmitted to Kyoto DGRC.
Please note that the fees to profit-making institutions will be doubled.

Spring Holidays: -
Summer Holidays: 15 - 17 August 2012
New Year Holidays: 13 December 2012 - 3 January 2013


  Shipment choice
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".
