The combination of cold weather, the holiday mail crunch, and departmental holiday closings makes this a poor time for shipping stocks. Our experience was that a large proportion of stocks mailed during this period did not reach the recipient alive and had to be reshipped in January. We now close to the public during this interval and use this time for once-a-year projects and staff holidays. Please plan ahead and order any stocks you will need in late December or early January before we close the order on the last shipment of 2001 (dates and times below). Orders received after the deadline will not be shipped until January of 2002. If you work outside the U.S. we strongly encourage you to order stocks no later than November 30. Number of Stocks Deadline Shipment Date 20 or fewer 12 noon EST December 9 December 10, 2001 21 to 80 3 pm EST November 30 December 3, 2001 more than 80 contact us 20 or fewer after 12 noon EST December 9 January 3 or 7, 2002 21 to 80 after 12 noon EST December 9 January 7 or 10, 2002 more than 80 contact us ------------------------------------------------------------------- Kathy Matthews Bloomington Drosophila Stock Center Department of Biology http://flystocks.bio.indiana.edu Indiana University 812-855-5782 phone 1001 E. 3rd St. 812-855-2577 fax Bloomington, IN 47405-3700 MATTHEWK@INDIANA.EDU --- .
