To our valued Clients,
As many of you are aware, courier shipping during the Canada Post strike has become challenging and packages may be delayed. Yesterday, we were made aware of a backlog in sorting at the local Purolator depot and other couriers are affected as well. With the upcoming holidays, online shopping and the strike at Canada Post, we have some recommendations for shipping your specimens to AHL Guelph.
If possible, you can drop off your samples at AHL Guelph Specimen Reception - the vestibule is open for sample drop off between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
Except for Wed. Dec. 25 (closed – no service), AHL-Guelph is open every day from Mon. Dec. 23, 2024, until Wed Jan 1, 2025 with limited services. The University of Guelph is officially closed during this period.
