Frequently asked questions
Ordering, shipping, payments, certificates, storage and policies.
Ordering
Who can buy from Valence Bios?
Our products are sold for laboratory research use only. They are not for human or veterinary use. By ordering, you confirm you are a qualified researcher.
Do I need an account to order?
You confirm your email with a one-time code at checkout. That lets you see your orders and tracking afterwards.
Do you offer order-size savings?
Yes, applied automatically to the peptide subtotal: 5% over $400, 10% over $600 and 15% over $1,000. No code is needed, and savings never exceed 15%.
What are multi-packs and stacks?
Multi-packs are 3 vials (save 10%) or 5 vials (save 15%) of one product, shipped as one order. Stacks pair specific compounds at 10% below the price of the separate vials.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Contact us straight away with your order number. Once an order has shipped it cannot be changed, and all sales are final.
Do you sell wholesale?
Yes. Send a wholesale enquiry and we will quote by email. Wholesale prices are not published.
Shipping
Where do you ship?
Within the United States only. We do not ship to Canada or any other country, or to freight forwarders or parcel-reshipping services.
When will my order ship?
Orders placed before 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on business days ship the same day. Orders after the cutoff ship the next business day, and there is no weekend dispatch. Orders ship once payment is received.
How much is shipping?
FedEx 2Day is free on peptide orders over $250. Below that, it is a flat $14.99. Laboratory supplies do not count toward the free-shipping threshold.
Which shipping service do you use?
Every order ships FedEx 2Day, cold-packed, with delivery expected by 5 p.m. on the scheduled delivery date. It is our only shipping method.
How do I track my order?
Use Track order with your order number and email, or open your orders when signed in. The carrier and tracking number appear once it ships.
Payments
How do I pay?
Online payment for US orders is not available yet. We only list payment methods that are live. Contact us to arrange payment for an order. See Payment instructions.
Do you accept cards or ACH?
Not yet. We only list payment methods that are live, and will add others when they are approved.
When is my payment confirmed?
Once payment is received and matched to your order number. Your order page then shows the order as being prepared.
Certificates and testing
Where are the certificates of analysis?
Each lot is third-party tested, and its certificate is published on the Lab Results page when the lot is released. Until then, the product shows "COA pending".
How do I find the certificate for my vial?
Type the lot number printed on your vial label into Check your lot, or scan the QR code on the label.
Why do blends have no purity figure?
A blend contains more than one compound, so it is verified for identity and quantity rather than given a single purity percentage.
What does HPLC purity mean?
It is the main peak's share of the total peak area in a chromatogram. It is not the same as net peptide content. See What purity percentages mean.
Storage
How should sealed vials be stored?
Keep sealed freeze-dried vials cold, dry and away from light. Let a cold vial reach room temperature before opening to avoid condensation.
Why do peptides ship freeze-dried?
Dry powder is generally more stable than a solution, so it travels better. Cold weather in transit is generally not a concern for sealed lyophilised powder.
Policies
Can I return an order?
All sales are final. We do not accept returns or exchanges, or issue refunds, on any compound or laboratory supply, opened or not. This keeps the chain of custody intact.
What if my order arrives damaged, is lost, or is the wrong item?
We replace or reship at our discretion; this is a replacement, not a refund. Damage and wrong-item claims must be made within 7 days of carrier-recorded delivery, and loss claims within 21 days of dispatch. Send your order number, the reason and clear photos of the outer packaging, packing slip and affected item.
What is shipping protection?
An optional $4.99 add-on in the cart that covers loss, damage and theft in transit. It is off by default.
What about chargebacks?
Please contact support first. Filing a chargeback instead of a claim on an order delivered as described breaches our Terms and results in account closure.
