Order Review
Orders are reviewed for payment confirmation, RUO compliance checks, and shipping information accuracy.
Shipping Policy
This Shipping Policy explains how GlowPath Lab handles order processing, shipment timelines, and delivery for research-use-only (RUO) products.
1) RUO Shipping Scope
Research-use-only handling
Orders placed through GlowPath Lab are fulfilled for laboratory and research-use purposes only. Products are not intended for human or veterinary use, and shipping services are provided in line with that RUO model.
2) Shipping Rates
Standard shipping cost
Flat-Rate Shipping: $9.99
We currently apply a flat shipping rate of $9.99 per order at checkout for standard delivery.
Additional charges may apply only where carriers impose special handling fees, remote-area surcharges, or address-correction costs.
3) Processing and Dispatch
Order preparation timeline
Processing Window
Most orders are processed within 1-3 business days, excluding weekends, holidays, and high-volume periods.
Dispatch Confirmation
Once shipped, you receive tracking details by email to monitor transit progress with the assigned carrier.
Split Shipments
When needed, multi-item orders may ship in separate packages to preserve product handling standards and stock accuracy.
4) Delivery Estimates
Transit times and expectations
- Delivery windows are estimates provided by carriers and are not guaranteed delivery dates.
- Transit times can vary based on destination, weather, and carrier network congestion.
- Orders may require extra time during peak periods, holidays, or operational disruptions.
5) Address Accuracy
Customer address responsibilities
Customers are responsible for entering complete and accurate shipping details at checkout. Incorrect or incomplete addresses can delay delivery or lead to return-to-sender outcomes.
If you notice an address error after ordering, contact us immediately. We can only update details before the carrier pickup is finalized.
6) Delays, Loss, and Damage
Shipping issue support
- Carrier delays outside our control may occur after packages leave our facility.
- Marked-as-delivered but missing packages should be reported promptly for a carrier trace request.
- Damaged shipments should be reported with photos of packaging and contents for review.
We review shipping claims case-by-case and coordinate with carriers to determine next steps.
7) Restricted Destinations
Compliance-based shipping limits
We may limit or decline shipment to locations where regulations, carrier rules, or compliance requirements restrict delivery of research materials.
If an order cannot be lawfully shipped, our team will notify you and arrange an appropriate resolution.
8) Policy Updates
Changes to shipping terms
We may update this Shipping Policy from time to time to reflect operational, carrier, or legal changes. Continued use of the site after updates may indicate acceptance where permitted by law.
