Refund Policy
At Precision Bio Research, we take product quality, order accuracy, and customer service seriously. This Refund Policy explains how we review refunds, replacements, cancellations, and order-related requests.
By placing an order through precisionbioresearch.com, you acknowledge and agree to the terms below.
1. General Refund Policy
Because Precision Bio Research supplies research compounds intended for controlled laboratory and analytical use, we review refund requests on a case-by-case basis.
Products that have been opened, used, reconstituted, altered, improperly stored, or otherwise removed from their original condition are generally not eligible for return or refund.
Eligibility depends on the issue, product condition, available documentation, and applicable legal requirements.
2. Eligible Refund or Replacement Requests
A refund, replacement, or other resolution may be considered when:
- An incorrect product was shipped
- An incorrect quantity was received
- A product arrived visibly damaged
- A shipment was confirmed lost by the carrier
- A product was missing from the order
- A verified fulfillment error occurred
- The product received does not match the item listed on the order confirmation
Supporting documentation may be required before we can approve a request.
3. Non-Refundable Products
Products are generally not eligible for refund if:
- The vial, container, seal, or packaging has been opened
- The product has been reconstituted
- The product has been used in any experiment or procedure
- Storage instructions were not followed
- The product was exposed to improper temperature, light, moisture, or handling
- The customer changed their mind after fulfillment
- The wrong product was ordered by the customer
- The shipping address supplied at checkout was incorrect
- A carrier marked the package as delivered
- A product is returned without prior authorization
Due to the nature of laboratory research materials, returned products cannot normally be restocked once product integrity or chain of custody can no longer be confirmed.
4. Damaged Products
If your order arrives damaged, contact Precision Bio Research promptly after delivery.
Please provide:
- Order number
- Product name
- Description of the damage
- Clear photographs of the affected product
- Photographs of the outer shipping package
- Photographs of the shipping label
- Any other information requested during review
Do not discard the damaged product or packaging until we review the claim.
Approved claims may result in a replacement, refund, store credit, or another appropriate resolution.
5. Incorrect or Missing Items
If you receive an incorrect product or an item is missing from your shipment, contact us as soon as possible.
Please include your order number and photographs of the products and packaging received.
Once we verify the fulfillment discrepancy, Precision Bio Research may arrange a replacement or other appropriate resolution.
6. Lost Shipments
A package is not considered lost solely because tracking information is delayed or temporarily stops updating.
Where a carrier confirms a shipment as lost, Precision Bio Research will review the order and determine an appropriate resolution.
Replacement or refund eligibility may depend on:
- Carrier investigation results
- Delivery address accuracy
- Tracking history
- Shipping method
- Available insurance or carrier protection
7. Packages Marked as Delivered
If tracking shows that a shipment was delivered but you cannot locate it, we recommend:
- Checking all delivery areas around the property
- Asking household members or employees
- Checking with neighbors where appropriate
- Contacting the shipping carrier directly
- Allowing a reasonable period for possible delayed scan updates
Precision Bio Research is not generally responsible for theft, loss, or misplacement after a carrier confirms delivery to the address provided at checkout, except where required by applicable law.
8. Order Cancellations
Submit cancellation requests as soon as possible after placing an order.
We cannot guarantee cancellation once an order has entered fulfillment.
Orders may no longer be eligible for cancellation after they have:
- Been processed
- Been packaged
- Received a shipping label
- Been transferred to the carrier
If cancellation is approved before fulfillment, we will generally issue the refund to the original payment method.
9. Change-of-Mind Returns
Because research compounds require controlled handling and product integrity cannot be independently verified after delivery, Precision Bio Research generally does not accept returns based solely on:
- Change of mind
- No longer needing the product
- Ordering the wrong item
- Ordering the wrong strength
- Ordering an incorrect quantity
Customers are responsible for reviewing product names, specifications, strengths, and quantities before completing an order.
10. Product Storage and Handling
Customers are responsible for reviewing and following applicable storage and handling information provided with the product.
Refunds may be denied when product quality concerns result from improper handling, storage, environmental exposure, or other conditions occurring after delivery.
Product storage information is provided solely for laboratory material preservation and should not be interpreted as instructions for human or veterinary use.
11. Analytical and Quality Concerns
If you believe a product does not meet its documented analytical specification, contact us with:
- Order number
- Lot or batch number
- Product name
- Description of the concern
- Relevant Certificate of Analysis information
- Supporting analytical data, where available
Quality-related claims may require review of batch documentation and supporting laboratory evidence.
Visual observations alone may not be sufficient to establish a product quality deviation.
12. Certificate of Analysis
Where applicable, customers should review the batch-specific Certificate of Analysis (COA) associated with the product.
Evaluate analytical specifications, identity, purity, and related information against the applicable batch documentation.
Claims involving purity or identity may require supporting third-party analytical evidence before we approve a refund or replacement.
13. Refund Processing
Approved refunds are generally issued to the original payment method.
Processing time may vary depending on:
- Payment processor
- Financial institution
- Card issuer
- Transaction type
Once Precision Bio Research submits an approved refund, additional processing time may be required before the funds appear in the customer’s account.
14. Shipping Charges
Original shipping charges are generally non-refundable unless the refund results from a verified fulfillment error attributable to Precision Bio Research.
Return shipping costs, where an authorized return is required, will be determined based on the circumstances of the request.
15. Unauthorized Returns
Do not send products back without first receiving authorization from Precision Bio Research.
Precision Bio Research may not accept, process, or refund unauthorized returns.
If a return is approved, customers will receive instructions on how and where to send the product.
16. Abuse or Fraudulent Claims
Precision Bio Research reserves the right to deny refund, replacement, or return requests where there is reasonable evidence of:
- Fraud
- Repeated abuse of refund policies
- False claims
- Chargeback misuse
- Product tampering
- Misrepresentation of shipment or product condition
We may restrict future transactions where necessary to protect our business and customers.
17. Chargebacks
Customers are encouraged to contact Precision Bio Research directly before initiating a payment dispute or chargeback.
We will make reasonable efforts to investigate legitimate concerns and resolve verified order issues.
Fraudulent or abusive chargebacks may result in account restrictions or refusal of future orders.
18. Research Use Only
All products offered by Precision Bio Research are intended strictly for laboratory research and analytical purposes only.
Products are:
- Not for human use
- Not for veterinary use
- Not intended for diagnosis
