I am not 100% on how their kit works, but it may be possible just to buy a swab and container, and bring it with you, then to ship that to 23 and me. I dont think you send them your sample on ice or anything, but I could be wrong. Anyone want to weigh in on this?
Enjoy your time in the states!

I plan to order a 23andme kit for my wife. We currently reside in a country where 23andme cannot ship a kit. However, I am returning to the US for New Years. I plan to purchase a kit for my wife, have it arrive at my US address, and physically bring her saliva sample with me when I travel and send it back with the kit.
So a question for those with wet lab training, what is your advice on the best way to do this. What container should I use? How should I minimize contamination? In my current role I may be able to get access to wet lab materials, is their some standardized container I should try to acquire or can even use in lieu of the contain 23andme sends in their kit?
