Hazardous Materials
Biohazardous items such as blood, urine, fluids or other infectious diagnostic specimens must be safely packaged to meet DI Overnite specifications for transport. It is the responsibility of the shipper to ensure that a shipment tendered to DI Overnite does not violate any federal, state, local laws or regulations. DI Overnite will, at our sole discretion, ship Other Regulated Materials (ORM-D). ORM-D is typically a consumer commodity which would ordinarily be regulated as a hazardous material but which presents limited hazard due to its smaller quantity, form and packaging for which a limited quantity exception is provided for in the DOT regulations. DI Overnite transports ORM-D shipments via ground only, we do not ship ORM-D by air.

DI Overnite customers who place fewer than 100 orders per month may purchase supplies. Costs can be obtained by contacting Customer Service or emailing [email protected].
While DI Overnite does not require our customers to use DI Overnite shipping supplies, all envelopes and boxes must be completely sealed and packaged sufficiently.
