3. Cold-Chain Shipping & Packaging
All peptide compounds are temperature-sensitive and require careful handling throughout the shipping process. Helix Research Co uses the following cold-chain protocols on every order:
- Compounds are packaged in insulated thermal containers
- Dry ice or gel ice packs are included based on transit time and destination
- All outer packaging is tamper-evident and discreet
- Orders are sealed with moisture-resistant inner packaging to protect compound integrity
We strongly recommend that you open and inspect your order immediately upon arrival and transfer compounds to appropriate cold storage as soon as possible.

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location, order weight, and selected shipping method. Orders over a qualifying threshold may be eligible for free standard shipping where applicable. Exact shipping rates will be displayed clearly before you complete your purchase.

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing your tracking number and a link to track your order in real time. If you do not receive your tracking information within 2 business days of placing your order, please contact us at support@helixresearch.co.
6. Discreet Packaging
We understand that privacy matters to our customers. All orders are shipped in plain, discreet outer packaging with no product names, brand references, or content descriptions on the exterior. The return address will reflect a neutral business name.
7. International Shipping & Customs
We ship to over 50 countries worldwide. International customers are responsible for understanding and complying with all import laws and customs regulations applicable in their country. Any customs duties, import taxes, or clearance fees imposed by your country’s customs authority are the sole responsibility of the buyer.

We recommend that international customers research their country’s import regulations for research-grade peptide compounds prior to placing an order.
8. Incorrect Shipping Address
It is the responsibility of the customer to provide a complete and accurate shipping address at checkout. Helix Research Co is not responsible for orders delivered to an incorrect address provided by the customer. If you notice an error in your shipping address after placing your order, please contact us immediately at support@helixresearch.co. We will do our best to correct the address before dispatch but cannot guarantee changes once an order has been shipped.
