Citadel Labs LLC ("Citadel Labs," "we," "us," or "our") stands behind the quality of every product we sell. Due to the sensitive nature of laboratory research materials, our refund policy is designed to protect both our customers and the integrity of our products.
Damaged or Defective Products
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or contains the wrong product, contact us at [email protected] within 7 days of delivery. Please include the following in your message:
Your order number
A clear description of the issue
Clear photographs of the damaged or defective product, including the outer packaging, inner packaging, and the product itself
Lost Packages
Package Confirmed Lost
If your tracking number indicates the package was not delivered or appears to be lost in transit, contact us within 14 days of the original estimated delivery date.
We will work with the carrier to investigate. If the package is confirmed lost, we will replace the order or issue a refund.
Marked "Delivered" But Missing
Packages marked "delivered" by the carrier but reported missing by the recipient — such as porch theft or misdelivery — are not covered under this policy.
In such cases, please file a claim directly with the carrier.
Order Cancellations
Because we ship orders the next business day, cancellation requests must be received before the order is processed for shipment. To request a cancellation, contact [email protected] as soon as possible after placing your order.
Refused or Undeliverable Shipments
If a shipment is refused at delivery or returned to us as undeliverable due to an incorrect address, an unavailable recipient, or refusal of delivery, the buyer may be responsible for additional shipping costs to re-ship the order.
If the buyer chooses not to have the order re-shipped, a refund may be issued at our discretion, less original shipping costs and a restocking fee where applicable.
Products Not Eligible for Refund
How Refunds Are Issued
Refund approved
We review and approve your refund request after verifying the issue.
Refund issued to original payment method
Approved refunds are returned to the card or payment method used at checkout. Original shipping costs are non-refundable except where the return is due to our error.
Allow 5–10 business days
Processing time depends on your bank or payment processor. Contact your bank if the refund has not appeared after 10 business days.
Chargebacks & Disputes
We strongly encourage you to contact us first if you have any concerns about your order. We are committed to resolving issues fairly and promptly.
Initiating a chargeback before contacting us delays resolution and may result in account suspension. Fraudulent chargebacks may be referred to collections.
