To continue providing reliable shipping services for diagnostic submissions and laboratory supplies, the Wisconsin Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory (WVDL) will implement updated shipping and handling charges effective October 1, 2026.
Over the past several years, carrier and transportation costs have increased significantly. While we have worked to absorb these increases whenever possible, adjustments are now necessary to help offset rising shipping expenses and maintain the level of service our clients expect.
