Holiday Shipping: What You Need to Know

While the holiday season is a time for celebration, connection, and reflection, for many, it’s also a time to plan and take steps toward growing their family. If you’re preparing to ship your precious reproductive materials during this busy season, we want to ensure you have all the information you need to navigate this time smoothly and stress-free.

At Cryoport Systems, we understand the importance of keeping your materials safe throughout the entire transport process, especially during the holidays.

 

Why Timing Matters

While the season is full of excitement, it also comes with unique challenges-especially for specialized shipping. Increased package volumes, limited carrier availability, and seasonal weather conditions can impact transit times. When it comes to transporting something as delicate and valuable as your reproductive materials, planning ahead is crucial. To ensure the safe and timely delivery of your precious cargo, we recommend avoiding shipping during the peak holiday weeks of December 23rd to 30th. 

 

Steps to Stress-Free Shipping

To help alleviate some of your holiday to-do list, we’ve simplified the shipping process into 3 easy steps:

  1. Plan Ahead: Begin planning your shipment well in advance of your desired delivery date. If you’re shipping internationally or across time zones, allow extra time for customs clearance and potential delays.
  1. Coordinate with Your Clinic: Work closely with your fertility clinic to ensure all necessary paperwork is complete.
  1. Trust the Experts: Trust our experienced team to handle your shipment with the utmost care. Our specialized shipping solutions are designed to maintain the integrity of your materials throughout the entire journey, with 24/7/365 tracking and monitoring by our team of experts to ensure everything goes smoothly. We support transportation documentation and facilitation of shipments across local and international borders for expert guidance wherever they may go.

 

Key Dates to Remember:

  • Avoid Shipping: December 23rd – 30th
  • Normal Operations Resume: January 6th
