Re: [DIYbio] Any problem ordering supplies to a residential address? (moving to a cheap area to start a lab)

yes, that is an issue, most will not ship to residential, even basic harmless chemicals you can get off ebay. if your doing anything serious, you probably at least need a simple business office just for the address, or know someone else who has a commercial address they will let you use.

Hi All,

I am planning to set up a DIY bio/chemistry lab. To do that, I plan to move to an inexpensive area (San Antonio, TX) and rent a house to live an work in. I am planning to setup my lab in one of the bedrooms or in the garage of that house.

My biggest concern is whether the major biotech suppliers would ship me the stuff to my residential address? I am thinking of major suppliers like Thermo Fisher, GE Healthcare and Sigma. I don't want to move through entire country, sign a lease only to learn that I can not practically do anything. 

I am self-employed and can work from anywhere in US. 

Please let me know your experience. Was the delivery ever a problem for you? How did you overcome it?
