FAQs

When does the estimated turnaround time start?

Turnaround times reflect the estimated number of working days to complete a submission delivered at our facility today.

My submission has arrived according to the delivery service, but it’s not showing up in “Submission Tracking.” Why?

Submissions are viewable in Submission Tracking after the contents of the submission are confirmed and entered in NGC’s computer system. Until then, packages are safely and securely stored at our facility.

What’s the difference between business days and calendar days?

Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding weekends and public holidays. NGC’s estimated turnaround times are based on business days, not calendar days.
