Did you mark the cooler before you shipped so you can identify it? Was there a reason you sent it for service?
I understand it's common to use a mail-out service for these in 911 circles due to community habit and widespread recommendations. However, unless you've had a metal scattering catastrophic failure, you should be able to clean/flush it at home with the highest level of confidence using diesel fuel and filtering each discharge with a clean white cloth like an old T-shirt.
