VitalChek can be reached through their website. An additional fee of $7.00 is charged by VitalChek for this service, and all major credit cards are accepted, including American Express®, Discover®, MasterCard® or Visa®.” Please be mindful that this website automatically defaults to a local service charge of $17.50 for a 2 day-over night fee so you will need to remove the check mark to avoid this extra fee.
