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
(320 for a person per week/ 750 for a week total),
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 KYOTO Drosophila Stock Center.

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 (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".
