DRAFT — template for attorney and client review. Not legal advice.

Effective date: EFFECTIVE DATE

All products are shipped for laboratory research use only. Shipments are accepted only at addresses within SHIPPING TERRITORY — e.g. the United States; we do not ship internationally at this time.

Processing and dispatch

Orders placed and cleared for payment before 12:00 PM ET on a business day dispatch the same day. Orders placed after that cutoff, on a weekend, or on a OBSERVED HOLIDAYS holiday dispatch the next business day.

Occasionally an order is held briefly for order verification, a payment review, or a lot allocation. If a hold will delay dispatch by more than HOLD NOTIFICATION WINDOW, we will email you.

Carriers, service levels, and cost

We ship via CARRIERS — e.g. USPS and UPS. Available services and live rates are shown at checkout before you pay.

ServiceTypical transit after dispatch
STANDARD SERVICE NAME3–5 business days
EXPEDITED SERVICE NAME1–2 business days

Transit times are carrier estimates, not guarantees, and exclude the dispatch day. Weather, carrier backlog, and regional service disruptions are outside our control.

Free STANDARD SERVICE NAME shipping applies to orders over $300 before tax, after any discount. Expedited services remain chargeable on qualifying orders.

Packaging and handling

Orders ship in plain, unbranded outer packaging with no product names on the exterior label.

Lyophilized research compounds are shipped at ambient temperature, which is appropriate for their stability in transit. Where a specific item or an extended-transit destination warrants it, we include an insulated liner and gel packs. Gel packs may arrive fully or partially thawed; on their own this does not indicate a problem with the contents. Handling and storage after delivery are the recipient's responsibility — see the FAQ for general laboratory storage guidance.

Tracking

A tracking number is emailed when the label is generated. Carrier scans can lag the email by several hours; if tracking has not updated within 24–48 hours of dispatch, contact SUPPORT EMAIL.

Address accuracy

You are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the shipping address you provide, including suite, unit, building, and lab or department designations.

  • Address changes can be made only before dispatch. Email SUPPORT EMAIL immediately; we cannot guarantee we can intercept an order already in the fulfillment queue.
  • A package returned to us as undeliverable because of an incorrect or incomplete address may be reshipped once the address is corrected, at a reshipment charge of RESHIP FEE / actual carrier cost. Original shipping charges are not refunded.
  • We are not responsible for packages delivered successfully to the address supplied and subsequently lost, stolen, or misplaced at that location. Where available, we recommend selecting a signature service or shipping to a staffed receiving point.

Lost and delayed shipments

If tracking shows no movement for 7 consecutive business days, or shows delivery to an address that is not yours, contact SUPPORT EMAIL with your order number. We will open a carrier trace. Carriers generally require the trace period specified by the carrier to close an investigation before a claim can be resolved; we will keep you informed and, once the carrier confirms loss in transit, will replace or refund the affected items at our discretion.

Damaged or incorrect deliveries

Inspect every shipment on arrival. Claims for damage in transit, missing items, or incorrect items must be reported within 7 days of delivery with photographs of the outer packaging, the packing slip, and the affected items. See the Refund Policy for how these claims are resolved.

Restricted deliveries and refusals

We reserve the right to decline or cancel any order, including where the destination is a jurisdiction into which we do not ship, where the address cannot be verified, or where an order does not satisfy the eligibility and attestation requirements in our Terms of Use. Refused or rejected shipments are treated as returns under the Refund Policy.
