05 Do you offer pricing for labs ordering in bulk?

Ordering & Payment
01 What payment options do you support?
We currently accept e-Transfer as our payment method. Instructions for sending payment are provided automatically at checkout once your order is placed.
02 Can I modify an order after placing it?
Yes, as long as it hasn't shipped yet. Contact us as soon as possible after placing your order and we'll update it before it goes out for delivery.
03 Do I need an account to place an order?
Yes — an account is required before you can start an order. It only takes a minute to set up and lets you track your order history going forward.
04 I didn't receive an order confirmation email — what should I do?
First, check your spam or promotions folder, since confirmation emails occasionally get filtered there. If it's genuinely missing after checking, log in to your account to confirm the order went through, then contact us with your order details and we'll resend the confirmation and make sure everything is on track.
05 Can I change or cancel my order?
Contact us immediately. Changes or cancellations are only possible before processing or dispatch begins.
Shipping & Returns
01 When will my order be processed?
Orders are processed Monday–Friday, usually within 24 hours after payment confirmation. Weekend and holiday orders are handled the next business day.
02 How long does delivery take?
Canada Post delivery usually takes 2–7 business days, depending on your location and carrier conditions.
03 Where do you ship?
We currently ship within Canada only, wherever Canada Post service is available.
04 Where will my order be shipped from?
All orders are dispatched from our warehouse in Vancouver, British Columbia.
05 Will I receive tracking information?
Yes. A dispatch email containing your tracking number will be sent once your order ships.
06 What should I do if my order arrives damaged or incomplete?
Contact us within 48 hours of delivery. Include your order number and clear photos or videos of the package and affected products.
07 What should I do if my delivery is delayed?
Check the tracking information for the most recent update. Estimated delivery dates are not guaranteed and may be affected by weather, statutory holidays, or carrier delays. If the tracking has not updated for several business days or the estimated delivery date has passed, contact the carrier to request an investigation. You may also contact our support team with your order number and tracking number for assistance.
08 Can I correct the delivery address after placing an order?
Send us the correct address as soon as possible. We may be able to make the change before your order is processed. However, addresses cannot normally be changed after dispatch. If the parcel is returned to us, we will contact you to arrange reshipment, which may require an additional delivery fee.
09 The tracking status says delivered, but where is my package?
Look around the designated delivery area and check with anyone who may have accepted the parcel, including neighbours or building staff. Please allow up to 24 hours because delivery scans can occasionally appear early. If the package remains missing, report it to the carrier and contact us with the investigation details.
10 What is your return and refund policy?
Unopened and unused products may be eligible for return within 14 days of delivery. Opened products cannot be returned. Please review our Refund & Returns Policy for full details.
Storage & Handling
01 How should I store my order before use?
Unopened, lyophilized material should stay refrigerated or frozen and away from light until you're ready to reconstitute it.
02 Once reconstituted, how long does it remain stable?
After reconstitution, refrigerate and avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles. Most lyophilized peptides remain stable for at least 24 months at −20°C. Check the COA for exact details.
03 What should I use to reconstitute a lyophilized vial?
Bacteriostatic water is the standard choice for most items. Check the specific product page, since certain compounds call for a different diluent.
04 Why does the powder amount look different between vials?
Lyophilization can produce a range of visual textures — a thin film, a compact pellet, or a light powder — depending on the compound. Appearance alone doesn't indicate a problem; the listed mass is what's guaranteed.
05 What's the shelf life of an unopened vial?
Stored correctly, unopened lyophilized material generally stays stable for a long period — the specific dating for your batch is listed on its lab report.
06 My reconstituted solution looks cloudy — is that a problem?
A clear solution is expected for most compounds. If yours looks cloudy or has visible particles, let us know the lot number and we'll help figure out why.
07 Is bacteriostatic water required before I can use my order?
Yes. All HGH and peptides ship in lyophilized form and need to be reconstituted with bacteriostatic water before use. It's sold separately from the compound itself. Please don't attempt to reconstitute with unregulated or off-brand bacteriostatic water — sticking with a verified source protects both the integrity of the compound and your own safety.
