Asbestos Testing Lab in Grand Rapids, Mi
While we pride ourselves on being a local laboratory, we do get clients from as far away as Grand Rapids, Michigan asking how to get their asbestos testing samples to us in an efficient manner. While we can't offer it to everyone, repeat clients with regular sample load qualify for our shipping program. Without further ado, PEL Labs is proud to offer free shipping to all asbestos, mold, wildfire combustion, and lead clients in good standing! The free shipping is via FedEx standard overnight, which ensures that all projects that are submitted to FedEx by their last overnight shipping pickup will be received by us the next day. This ensures timeliness of your results without having to travel to our laboratory from your jobsite. The use of the FedEx labels is entirely free to clients in good standing for any packages that meet our analytical minimum ($250 as of the writing of this, please confirm with lab personnel for current information). If the minimum is not met, a shipping charge (currently $25) will be added to the analytical invoice. The FedEx labels are available for download twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week from our website at www.PELLabs.com.
But let's go over how to use our labels. Let's say you're a repeat client in Grand Rapids, Michigan looking to get some asbestos testing done. The process is simple! On our website, you merely need to click on the "Ship with FedEx button". On request, we will provide your company in good account standing with a unique "PEL Customer Number." This number will serve as your code to proceed with creation of a label on our account. You then merely need to input your information for the return address portion of the label and select either our Michigan or California lab as recipient. It will also ask for a package weight. Those can be very approximate; FedEx will certainly weigh and charge us based on that weight, so you do not need to place the package on a scale if you do not have one handy. You then have the option to have the shipping label created on a foldable 8.5 inch x 11 inch format, or a 4 inch x 6 inch format for FedEx provided half-page sticker sheets. The label will then be created to ship to the PEL Lab you chose, and you merely have to print it out and affix to your mailer. It's that easy! Then you can drop the sealed package off at any FedEx store or dropoff, and we will receive it the next day pending the package arriving at FedEx before last pickup, and any FedEx service delays beyond our control.
We believe this service benefits our clients for several reasons. The ability to drop off a package at any FedEx drop box rather than having to go to a staffed office is a significant advantage in the field, especially for those as far away as Grand Rapids or Sterling Heights. Particularly in more rural areas, this can be a multiple hour time savings for your field personnel, and can frequently be the determining factor if the analysis can be completed the next day or whether it will be an extra day. And as I'm sure you're keenly aware, completing a project one day sooner can be a huge boon for your company, both financially and reputationally. Additionally, it removes the requirement to keep track of shipping costs to pass along to clients on your end — either there are no shipping costs to pass on, or our shipping fee below minimums appears directly on the analytical invoice and does not need to be separately tracked. Which is a minor time savings, but when you have as many categories to track as there are in the environmental industry, every little bit helps! If you are a potential client in Grand Rapids, Michigan who would like more information about our free shipping program for asbestos, lead, and mold testing, we can be reached from 9am — 5pm Monday to Friday at 877-220-3528 or info@pellabs.com.
