UPS generally provides next-day delivery (WI and 1-day transit zone of map) of your biopsies to WVDL, which improves the turnaround time for biopsy results.  Click HERE and enter your zip code to see the next day zone map for UPS Ground.  You may also check your zip code for delivery to WVDL at https://wwwapps.ups.com/ctc/request?loc=en_US
