Shipped vs. moving
“Label created” means your order is packed and its label is bought. The carrier’s first scan can follow a few hours after pickup. From then on, transit times are the carrier’s.
If anything will delay your order, we tell you first. You get an email before the same-day window closes, not after. We would rather tell you early than have you wonder.

Tracking
Your tracking number is emailed when the label is created. It can take up to 24 hours to show movement. If it still shows only “Label created” after two business days, tell us and we chase it with the carrier.
-
Packaging
Shipped in a plain, unbranded outer box, sealed, with the labeled vial inside, packed for the transit time of the method you choose.
-
Orders in more than one package
Most orders ship in one package. If we send an order in more than one, each package gets its own tracking number by email, there is no extra shipping charge, and your card is charged once, for the whole order, when you place it.
-
Address accuracy
We ship to the address you enter, so check it before you pay. Once a label is created we may not be able to change it. If a package comes back undeliverable because of an address error, we refund the product value less outbound shipping, or reship at your cost, your choice.
If something goes wrong
Tell us, and we fix it.
