Frequently Asked Questions
Information about orders, payments, shipping, and our research and laboratory reagents.
Payments
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept cryptocurrency payments only. Supported options include Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Tether (USDT), Litecoin (LTC), and Bitcoin Cash (BCH).
The available coin and network will be shown during checkout. Please double-check both before sending your payment.
How long does a cryptocurrency payment take to confirm?
Confirmation time depends on the cryptocurrency and current network traffic. Your order can move forward once the payment has received the required confirmations.
I’ve sent the payment, but my order is still pending. What should I do?
First, allow time for the transaction to receive its confirmations. If the order status still hasn’t changed, email us your order number and transaction ID (TXID), and we’ll check the payment.
Orders
When will my order ship?
We begin processing an order after its payment has been confirmed. Dispatch time can vary depending on the product and where it is shipping from. We’ll email you when the order has been sent.
How can I check my order status?
You can check your order status through your customer account, if you have one, or email us with your order number.
I haven’t received an order confirmation. What should I do?
Check your spam or junk folder first. If the confirmation isn’t there, make sure the email address entered at checkout is correct. If you still can’t find it, get in touch and include your order details.
Can I change or cancel an order?
Contact us as soon as possible if you need to change or cancel an order. We can only make changes before the order has been dispatched. Once it has shipped, the address and order details can no longer be changed.
Shipping & Delivery
Where is ResearchChem based?
ResearchChem is based in the United States.
Where do you ship?
We currently ship to the United States, Canada, and Australia. Product availability and shipping options can vary by destination.
Where will my order ship from?
Most orders are shipped from within the destination country, helping keep delivery times short. Some products are shipped from China instead. The shipping origin depends on the item.
Do all shipments include tracking?
Yes. Every shipment includes a tracking number. We’ll email it to you once your order has been dispatched.
Do you offer express shipping?
Yes, express shipping is available. The options depend on the product and destination. If express shipping is available for your order, you’ll see it among the shipping options at checkout.
How long will delivery take?
Delivery time depends on the destination, shipping service, and dispatch location. Most orders are sent from within the destination country. Items shipped from China may take longer to arrive.
For the best estimate, check the shipping options at checkout. Express delivery may be available for some orders.
Can I use a PO box or a different delivery address?
Available delivery addresses depend on the carrier and shipping service. If you need to use a PO box or another special address, please check the options at checkout or contact us before placing your order.
Tracking & Delivery Issues
My tracking hasn’t updated. Is something wrong?
Not necessarily. Carriers don’t always scan a package at every stage, so tracking can remain unchanged while it is moving between facilities. Check again later, and contact us if there has been no update for an unusually long time.
My order is taking longer than expected. What should I do?
Check the latest tracking update first. If the estimated delivery window has passed, send us your order number and tracking number so we can look into it.
Tracking says delivered, but I can’t find the package. What should I do?
Check around your delivery area and with anyone who may have accepted the package for you. The carrier may also have more details about the delivery location. If you still can’t locate it, contact us with your order number and tracking information.
Could customs delay an order shipped from China?
Yes. International shipments can be selected for customs inspection, which may add time to delivery. Import rules and any duties or taxes depend on the destination country. Please check the requirements that apply to your location before ordering.
Returns & Order Problems
Can I return an item?
Return eligibility depends on the product and the circumstances. Please contact us before sending anything back. We’ll confirm whether the item can be returned and explain the next steps.
I received the wrong or a damaged item. What should I do?
Email us with your order number, a short description of the issue, and clear photos of the item and packaging. Please keep the packaging until we’ve had a chance to review the problem.
Products & Documentation
What kind of products do you offer?
We specialize in research and laboratory reagents. Product details and specifications are listed on the individual product pages.
Can I get a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
COA availability depends on the product. If you need a certificate for a specific item, contact us with its product name or catalog number and we’ll let you know what documentation is available.
Can you provide a Safety Data Sheet (SDS)?
If an SDS is available for the product, our team can help you obtain it. Send us the product name or catalog number when you make your request.
Why does the appearance of a product sometimes vary?
Some products can look slightly different from one batch to another. Color or texture alone isn’t enough to determine a product’s identity or purity. Refer to the product documentation, and contact us if the item you received doesn’t match its description or appears to have been damaged.
Where can I find storage and handling instructions?
Storage and handling requirements vary from one reagent to another. Check the product documentation and the relevant Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for instructions specific to that item.
