Order Processing & Verification
All orders containing lyophilized peptide compounds undergo a standard 24-hour verification window to validate academic or laboratory shipping destinations and payment clearance. Orders placed before 1:00 PM UTC-5 Monday through Thursday are packaged and transferred to courier custody the same day. Orders placed on Friday after 1:00 PM or during weekends are processed the following Monday to minimize transit warehouse exposure.
Thermal & Structural Packaging Protocol
Biochemical reagents and lyophilized cakes are sealed in hermetic, light-shielded, tamper-evident barrier bags with moisture-absorbing desiccants. Shipments include structural shock-absorption inserts to prevent mechanical vial degradation during turbulent transit cycles. Temperature indicators may be added during extreme summer shipping routes upon request.
Domestic Shipping Coverage & Signature Requirements
Peptide Corps ships across all 50 U.S. states and authorized research territories. In accordance with laboratory supply protocols, orders exceeding $300.00 value or containing bulk order sequences require an adult or laboratory administrator signature upon delivery. Carrier drop-offs to unattended communal mail receptacles are strongly discouraged.
International Shipments & Regulatory Customs
International orders are accepted exclusively for authorized institutions and commercial laboratories where local regulations permit the direct import of non-scheduled research peptides. All international packages are declared as 'Laboratory Biochemical Reagents for Scientific Research Only' under standardized Harmonized System (HS) tariff codes. The receiving party is strictly responsible for all local customs clearance, import documentation, and applicable duties or VAT.
Tracking, Delivery Discrepancies & Transit Damage
Automated tracking links are generated immediately upon courier custody transfer. Should a package arrive with compromised tamper seals or fractured borosilicate vials, the recipient must record photographic evidence within 48 hours of carrier-confirmed delivery and submit a formal claim with batch tracking numbers through our compliance desk.
