The current UPS statewide contract used for deeply discounted shipping of diagnostic specimens expired November 27th. As of now, pricing has reverted to UPS commercial rates until the contract is renewed. These new prices are expected to be 3 to 4 times higher than the previously deeply discounted price. In the Greater Atlanta Area, we encourage all clients to use our affordable local courier partner 4QL for the most rapid and reliable method to get specimens to the laboratory. If you are outside the GTA, you can call us to provide temporary individual Fed/Ex labels in lieu of UPS if desired.
