What method or service did you use in your country, especially if you live outside the US? I've noticed that many people often have some problems mailing off their sample complaining about how the couriers are not willing to accept biological material and such etc.
Me: I used 'International Express Mail Service (IEMS)' outside the US the first time I ever did FTDNA...They have this little stall at the mall where they check out your parcel, then they do all the paperwork for you...In US dollars it costed around $32 bucks for me...Delivery took around only 7 days, but only because this is considered an "Express Post" service. Tracking-number was also provided.
...
More recently I've just submitted my 'MyHeritageDNA' swab sample as well. The price for IEMS was jacked up recently to $52. So instead of using IEMS I just used the standard "Parcel Post" service...They mail it as a parcel to the US except the major downside is that there is no tracking-number provided. Delivery was slated for 2 weeks.
The very first method I attempted was FedEx and they required a note from a doctor that the biological material is not harmful etc. So that was difficult.
How did you guys send in your sample?
