Frequently Asked Questions

Product handling & storage

How should I store a peptide before it is reconstituted?

Keep lyophilised material sealed in its original vial, protected from light and moisture, and follow the storage instructions shown on the product label or product page.

What about storage after reconstitution for an assay?

Once reconstituted in an appropriate solvent for laboratory use, peptide solutions should generally be refrigerated at 2–8°C and used within an appropriate timeframe, or divided into aliquots and frozen.

Do you provide reconstitution or dosing instructions?

No. We do not provide dosing, administration or human-use instructions. Our products are sold strictly for laboratory research use and are not intended for use in or on humans or animals.

What handling precautions should my laboratory follow?

Treat every peptide as a laboratory chemical. Use appropriate protective equipment, follow your facility’s chemical hygiene procedures and dispose of unused material according to applicable regulations.

Shipping & delivery

Where do you ship, and how much does shipping cost?

Shipping is free on every order, with no minimum purchase required. We currently ship only to eligible street addresses within the 50 United States. We do not ship internationally, to U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, APO/FPO/DPO addresses, or freight forwarders. Product and state restrictions may apply.

What is your order cut-off time?

Orders placed before 4:00 PM Pacific Time, Monday through Friday, enter same-day processing. Processing takes approximately 0–1 business day, and same-day dispatch is not guaranteed. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends, or on public holidays begin processing on the next business day.

How long does delivery take?

After dispatch, USPS transit typically takes 2–3 business days. Including our 0–1 business-day processing time, estimated total delivery is approximately 2–4 business days from the order date. These timeframes are estimates and are not guaranteed.

Payment methods

Is my payment information stored by Pepticore?

No. Card and wallet payment information is processed securely by our payment provider and is not stored on Pepticore’s servers. See our Payment Policy.

What currency are prices displayed in?

All prices on Pepticore.co are displayed and charged in US Dollars (USD).

Returns & refunds

Can I return a product after it has shipped?

No. Due to the chain-of-custody and controlled-handling requirements of research-use-only laboratory materials, we do not accept preference-based returns after an order has been dispatched. Damaged, defective, tampered with, or incorrect items remain eligible for review under our Return & Refund Policy.

Can I cancel my order?

You may request a free cancellation before your order is dispatched or handed over to USPS. Contact us as soon as possible at contact@pepticore.co. Once the order has been dispatched, it can no longer be cancelled.

What if my order arrives damaged, defective or incorrect?

Contact contact@pepticore.co within 7 calendar days of delivery. Include your order number and clear photographs of the product and packaging. Approved refunds are submitted to the original payment method within 1 business day. Your bank or payment provider may then require 5–10 business days to post the funds.

COA & laboratory documentation

Where can I find available documentation?

You can check our public Certificate Vault. Testing methods and documentation availability vary by product and lot, and not every product or lot has a publicly available Certificate of Analysis. If a document is not listed, contact us with the product name and, when available, the exact lot reference to ask what documentation is available.

Does a Certificate of Analysis confirm that a product is safe for human or animal use?

No. A Certificate of Analysis is a laboratory quality document. It does not constitute a safety approval and does not make a product suitable for use in humans or animals.

Can I request documentation before or after ordering?

Yes. You may browse our available records or contact our support team at contact@pepticore.co with the product name and, when available, the exact lot reference. We will confirm what analytical documentation is available for that product or lot.

Is there an age requirement?

Yes. You must be at least 21 years old to purchase from Pepticore.co. Every order requires confirmation of age and research purpose.
