1. Introduction

At Proton Compounds, we aim to provide a clear and organized shipping experience for customers purchasing research peptide materials and related laboratory products.

This Shipping Policy explains how orders are processed, prepared, shipped, and delivered. It also outlines shipping eligibility, delivery estimates, tracking, and shipment-related concerns.

By placing an order through our website, you acknowledge the shipping terms described below, subject to applicable laws and consumer protections.

2. Order Processing

Orders are reviewed and prepared after payment confirmation and any applicable verification procedures.

Processing times may vary depending on product availability, order volume, payment status, and operational requirements.

Our standard processing procedures are designed to support accurate order preparation and timely transfer to the shipping carrier.

Orders submitted during weekends or recognized holidays may begin processing on the next business day.

3. Same-Day Shipping

Eligible orders placed and successfully confirmed before 4:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) may qualify for same-day shipping on regular business days.

Same-day shipping eligibility depends on inventory availability, payment verification, order requirements, and carrier pickup schedules.

Orders received after the designated cutoff may be processed on the following business day.

Same-day shipping refers to the intended dispatch date, not same-day delivery. It does not guarantee carrier acceptance or delivery within a specific timeframe.

4. Shipping Destinations

Proton Compounds primarily serves customers within the United States.

Shipping eligibility depends on the destination, applicable restrictions, carrier availability, and the regulatory requirements associated with specific products.

We reserve the right to restrict or decline shipments to locations where transactions or transportation would violate applicable laws.

Customers are responsible for providing accurate delivery information and ensuring they are legally eligible to receive ordered materials.

5. Shipping Rates and Free Shipping

Shipping charges are calculated according to the shipping method, destination, package details, and available carrier services.

Free Shipping Offer: Eligible domestic orders with a qualifying merchandise subtotal of $150 or more may receive complimentary standard shipping.

Unless otherwise specified at checkout, the qualifying subtotal excludes taxes and shipping charges.

Any applicable exclusions, restrictions, or promotional conditions should be displayed before the customer completes the purchase.

The final shipping charge will be confirmed during checkout.

6. Estimated Delivery Times

Delivery estimates depend on the selected shipping service, destination, and carrier operations.

For eligible domestic shipments, standard delivery may be estimated at 2–3 business days after carrier acceptance, where supported by the selected service.

Delivery estimates are not guaranteed unless an express delivery guarantee is offered and accepted under specific terms.

Potential delays may result from weather conditions, carrier disruptions, holidays, incorrect addresses, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.

7. Order Tracking

When tracking is available, shipment details will be provided through the contact information associated with the order.

Tracking information may include:

• Shipping carrier details.
• Shipment identification number.
• Carrier acceptance status.
• Estimated delivery information.
• Delivery confirmation updates.

Carrier tracking systems may take additional time to display updates after a shipping label is generated.

Customers should refer to the carrier’s tracking information for the latest reported shipment status.

8. Packaging and Shipment Preparation

Proton Compounds aims to prepare shipments using packaging appropriate for the listed materials and applicable transportation requirements.

Orders may include product labels, material identifiers, or supporting documentation, depending on the products supplied.

Packaging requirements may vary according to the physical characteristics of individual materials.

Discreet packaging, where offered, does not override any legally required labeling, declarations, or carrier requirements.

Customers should inspect their packages upon delivery and review any accompanying product information.

9. Incorrect or Incomplete Shipping Addresses

Customers are responsible for entering accurate shipping information during checkout.

Incorrect, incomplete, or outdated addresses may result in shipping delays, returned packages, or additional carrier charges.

If you notice an address error after placing an order, contact customer support as soon as possible.

Address corrections may be possible before fulfillment but cannot be guaranteed once a shipment has been transferred to the carrier.

Additional shipping charges resulting from customer-provided address errors may apply where permitted by law and disclosed in advance.

10. Lost or Delayed Shipments

If tracking information indicates an unexpected delay or a shipment cannot be located, please contact our customer support team.

We may help review available tracking records or submit an inquiry to the shipping carrier.

Shipment investigations depend on carrier procedures, delivery records, and applicable consumer protection requirements.

Where an order is confirmed lost, available remedies will be assessed according to applicable law, the shipping service, and our published policies.

11. Damaged Packages

If your order arrives with visible damage, please retain the original packaging and contact Proton Compounds promptly.

When submitting a shipping concern, include:

• Your order number.
• A brief explanation of the issue.
• Photographs of the package and affected items.
• Any relevant carrier or delivery information.

These details may help us assess the concern and determine appropriate next steps.

Do not use materials with compromised packaging or uncertain identification.

Refunds, replacements, or other remedies will be determined under our Refund Policy and applicable law.

12. Missing or Incorrect Items

If your shipment contains an incorrect product or an item is missing, contact our support team with the relevant order information.

We may request photographs, product label details, or packaging information to help us verify the issue.

Confirmed fulfillment errors will be addressed in accordance with applicable consumer protection requirements and our published policies.

13. Shipping Restrictions for Research Materials

Certain laboratory research materials may be subject to additional transportation, labeling, handling, or destination restrictions.

Customers must comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements governing their acquisition and receipt of scientific materials.

Products designated Research Use Only (RUO) are not intended for human or veterinary use.

We may decline shipments when legal restrictions, carrier requirements, or other compliance considerations prevent fulfillment.

14. Returns to Sender

Proton Compounds may return a shipment when delivery cannot be completed.

Possible reasons include:

• Incorrect delivery address.
• Failed delivery attempts.
• Refused shipments.
• Carrier restrictions.
• Other unsuccessful delivery circumstances.

Once the returned shipment has been assessed, available options may include reshipment, cancellation, or a refund, depending on the circumstances and applicable law.

Any additional shipping fees will be communicated where relevant.

15. Order Changes and Cancellations

Customers seeking to modify or cancel an order should contact our support team promptly.

Requested changes may be possible before the order enters fulfillment.

Once an order has shipped, cancellation or modification may no longer be available through the original order process.

Refund eligibility and return procedures are addressed in our separate Refund Policy.

16. Business Days and Holidays

For shipping purposes, business days generally refer to Monday through Friday, excluding applicable holidays.

Order processing and carrier services may operate on different schedules.

Holiday periods, seasonal demand, and carrier service interruptions may affect shipment preparation and delivery estimates.
