Refund & Returns Policy
Effective Date: August 10, 2026 · Last Updated: August 10, 2026
At True Peptides, we stand behind the quality of our research products. Due to the nature of research chemicals and the importance of maintaining product integrity, our return and refund policy is subject to the following terms.
1. General Policy
Research peptides and chemicals require strict handling, storage, and chain-of-custody protocols to ensure purity and integrity. For this reason, returns are limited. We evaluate each request on a case-by-case basis to ensure the safety and quality of all products.
2. Damaged or Defective Products
If you receive a product that is damaged during shipping, defective, or does not meet the specifications stated on the Certificate of Analysis (COA), we will provide a full replacement or refund at our discretion. To qualify:
- You must notify us within seven (7) days of delivery.
- You must provide photographs of the damaged or defective product and packaging.
- You must retain the product and packaging until the claim is resolved.
Contact us with your order number, a description of the issue, and photographs. We aim to resolve all damage and defect claims within 3-5 business days.
3. Wrong Item Shipped
If you receive an item that does not match what you ordered, we will ship the correct product to you at no additional charge. Please contact us within seven (7) days of delivery with your order number and a photo of the item received. You may be asked to return the incorrect item at our expense.
