Ordering & payment
How do I place an order?
Browse the products page, choose a product and pack size, and add it to your cart. Enter your destination to see shipping, then check out securely with card payment through Stripe.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum spend, but the smallest listed pack size for a product is the minimum quantity of it. For a smaller amount, request a quote.
Do you offer standing orders?
Yes. Request a quote with the product, pack size and schedule and we will set it up and quote it.
Who do you sell to?
We sell to individuals, labs, companies and research institutes in most countries. A small number of destinations are unavailable under sanctions; the countries we can ship to are the ones offered when you enter your destination at checkout.
Can I get a custom or off-catalog pack size?
Published prices cover the listed pack sizes. For anything else, such as a different amount, a different grade, or a material not in the catalog, request a quote.
Can I return an order?
Yes, contact us within 30 days if there's a problem. Items must be unopened, uncontaminated and in their original packaging; hazardous materials are non-returnable. See our Terms of Sale for the full policy.
Do you price match?
Yes. If you have a verifiable lower price for the same material, purity and a comparable quantity from an in-stock seller, we beat it by 10%. Send us a written quote or published listing before you order; see our Terms of Sale for the full policy.
Do you accept purchase orders?
Yes. If your purchasing office pays by PO rather than by card, request invoicing with the product and quantity and we will send a quote you can issue a PO against.
Can you invoice a grant or an institution?
Yes. We invoice universities, research institutes and companies directly; request invoicing with your institution's billing details.
What payment terms do you offer?
Card payment through Stripe at checkout for everyone, and purchase orders with Net 30 or Net 60 terms for institutions. Request invoicing to arrange it.
Accounts, discounts & credit
Do I need an account to place an order?
No. Guest checkout is unchanged and never requires an account.
What do I get for creating an account?
Creating an account gets you 10% off your first order, on the goods subtotal only, not shipping or the hazmat surcharge. You also get order history and a referral link for store credit.
How does the referral credit work?
Every account has a referral link. You and anyone you refer each receive $50 in store credit once you have both placed an order paying $125 or more; if your own order comes later than theirs, the credit lands on their next order. Credit is valid for twelve months from when it vests and applies to goods and the hazmat surcharge, not shipping. They have to create their account from your link, so a guest checkout earns nobody credit, and the link stops counting 90 days after they follow it. Up to ten of your referrals can hold credit at any one time.
What happens to my store credit if I delete my account?
Deleting your account forfeits any outstanding store credit.
Shipping & documentation
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, to most countries. Shipping is calculated at checkout, and no sales tax is charged during our launch. You pay no duties or customs charges on delivery. International orders should provide a phone number reachable by customs.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is calculated automatically at checkout by destination and cart weight. See our shipping rates page for the full rate table by zone.
How are orders packaged?
Solid lots are packed in sealed polyethylene bottles or sleeves inside padded cartons. Each label carries the product code, lot number and net weight, plus grade where assayed.
Are these materials regulated for transport?
Some items ship as ordinary parcels; others ship under dangerous-goods or hazmat documentation. The shipping class is shown on each product page and reviewed before dispatch. Hazardous items carry a surcharge, shown on the shipping rates page, and cannot be shipped to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa or the Northern Mariana Islands.
Do you provide a certificate of analysis?
A producer certificate of analysis is included automatically with every purchase, referencing the product code and lot number from the label.
Do you provide a safety data sheet?
An SDS is shipped with every order. To review it before purchase, including as part of a purchase order review, request it and we will send it to you.
