- Periods of high order volume
- Circumstances outside our control
Orders may be subject to additional verification or compliance review before dispatch.
2. Shipping Services

- Shipping addresses are complete and correct
- Local import regulations are understood and complied with
Caledonia Peptides accepts no responsibility for delays or failed deliveries caused by incorrect customer information.
4. Delivery Delays

Caledonia Peptides is not liable for delays caused by third-party delivery providers or customs authorities.
5. International Orders
Customers ordering from outside the United Kingdom are solely responsible for:
- Import compliance
- Customs duties and taxes
- Local regulatory restrictions
- Product legality within their jurisdiction
We are not responsible for orders delayed, seized, refused, or destroyed by customs or regulatory agencies. International shipping charges are non-refundable once dispatched.
6. Risk of Loss
Risk of loss or damage transfers to the purchaser upon delivery to the address supplied during checkout. Customers should inspect deliveries promptly upon arrival.
7. Damaged or Incorrect Orders
If your order arrives damaged, incomplete, or incorrect, you must contact Caledonia Peptides within 48 hours of delivery.
To assist with investigation and resolution, customers may be asked to provide:
- Order number
- Photographs of packaging and products
- Description of the issue
- Delivery details
Claims submitted outside the reporting window may not be eligible for review.
8. Returns Policy
Due to the specialised nature of laboratory research materials, returns are generally not accepted once products have been dispatched.
Returns may only be considered where:
- The incorrect product was supplied
- A verified fulfilment error occurred
- The product arrived materially damaged
Products must remain unopened, unused, and in original condition where return approval is granted. Unauthorised returns may be refused.
9. Refunds & Replacements
Refunds, replacements, or store credits are issued solely at the discretion of Caledonia Peptides following review of the reported issue.
Approved refunds will typically be processed to the original payment method within a reasonable timeframe. Shipping costs may be non-refundable unless the error was caused directly by us.
10. Non-Returnable Items
For safety, compliance, and quality-control reasons, the following are generally non-returnable:
- Opened products
- Used products
- Products stored improperly after delivery
- International orders affected by customs actions
- Orders delayed by courier services outside our control
11. Lost Shipments
If an order appears lost in transit, customers should contact us promptly.
We may investigate directly with the courier before issuing any refund or replacement. Orders marked as delivered by the courier may require additional evidence before claims are considered.
12. Refused Deliveries
Orders refused by the customer or returned due to failed delivery attempts may be subject to:
- Restocking fees
- Return shipping costs
- Non-refundable shipping charges
Refund eligibility will depend on the condition of returned goods and the circumstances involved.
