For the initial month of July, once we receive your lab box, we will ship and an email will be sent with the tracking number to you. Customers who pick up at the store will receive notification that the box is available for pick up.
For August - September, once you have paid your invoice for that month's lab box, an email will be sent with the tracking number to you. Customers who pick up at the store will receive notification that the box is available for pick up.
