Returns & damage
If something is wrong with the parcel
Transit protection on every order, unopened returns within 30 days, and what happens when material does not match its certificate, as a checklist.
Every parcel is protected in transit
Shipment protection is included on every order at no charge. Material that arrives damaged, is lost by the carrier, or is held and not delivered is replaced from the same lot where possible, and no return is needed.
How a claim works
Three steps, usually closed within a business day.
| Step | What happens |
|---|---|
| 01 · Document | Photographs of the outer, the insert and the affected vial, plus the order reference. |
| 02 · Contact | Email orders@peptides.com with the reference in the subject line, or use the contact form. |
| 03 · Replacement | Dispatched within one business day of the claim being accepted, by the same service, at no cost. A refund is offered instead if the lot is exhausted. |
Returning unopened material
Unopened vials with an intact crimp seal can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a full refund of the material price.
What cannot be returned
The exceptions exist to keep the chain of custody clean for everyone else.
| Material | Return |
|---|---|
| Opened vials, any reason | Not returnable. Replaced or refunded only where the material fails to match its certificate. |
| Custom synthesis | Not returnable. Made to your specification against a published certificate. |
| More than 30 days after delivery | Not returnable. Withdrawn lots are the exception, with no time limit. |
| Material bought through a reseller | Handled by the reseller. Verification and certificates still work. |
Material that does not match its certificate
If material does not match the certificate for its lot, it is replaced or refunded whether or not it has been opened, and including shipping.
