Sending Your Samples to Us

Request the pick up of your samples or deliver them to the address below.

Analytical center: Suite C1 God’s Promise Building, Bells Drive, Ota. Use map below.

We suggest you use GIG, FedEx, or Tranex. However, if you do use commercial buses to send your samples to a bus park/garage, your samples will be picked up by a dispatcher at a fee agreed upon between you and him. Sending your samples through GIG will also cost a pick up fee (from their office to us) as they do not offer door delivery to our analytical center.
