Delivery
We ship with Next-Day EU Delivery via DHL Express or UPS Express.
All orders are prepared fresh on the day of dispatch, placed in EPS Cold-Chain Transport Boxes, and shipped with cooling elements to maintain a stable temperature throughout the journey.
Our logistics process is designed so the package arrives overnight, avoiding customs delays inside the European Union.
Products are shipped from our EU facility, ensuring no import duties, no customs clearance, and always fast and secure delivery.
Payment
Due to the nature of research peptides and the high-risk category assigned by payment processors, credit card companies do not generally support merchants in this field.
For this reason, we accept mainly Bank Transfers.
We also work with a crypto payment provider, and from time to time, card payments may be available depending on processor availability.
Within the European Union, SEPA transfers are fast, low-cost, and usually arrive within minutes to a few hours, making the payment process smooth and simple.
Once the transfer is received, your order is prepared immediately and dispatched the same day, depending on the daily cut-off time.
Please note that we do not dispatch shipments on Fridays or on days before official public holidays. This is done to ensure that parcels can be delivered on the next working day and are not held in transit over weekends or holidays.
This method ensures compliance, security, and continuity of service for all customers across the EU.
