Sending Samples to us

As an realtor, you may run into asbestos problems from time to time. Seattle Asbestos Test is here to assist you when you run into such problems.

Can I mail the Samples to Your Lab by USPS, FedEx, UPS or other mail carrier?

The answer is yes. Based on the DOT Hazardous Materials Table in 49 CFR 172.101, you should be able to mail sample sized potential asbestos containing material to a tesing lab. This link lists asbestos along with the other hazardous materials, and it can be seen from it that asbestos is mailable.

In Publication 52 - Hazardous, Restricted, and Perishable Mail, you'd find more detailed information about mailing asbestos.

You should consult the postal services for details.
