To avoid lengthy delays in transit, we exclusively ship through USPS priority mail. If you are in a location where temperatures reach below 30 degrees, we reccomend choosing our “temperature control” add-on at checkout. We use alcohol based gels packs to provide more thermal mass to your package, which slows down the freezing process of anything around it. While rare, syringes may still freeze in transit they are left in your mailbox for many hours.

WE DO NOT REPLACE STOLEN ITEMS. ONCE A PACKAGE HAS LEFT OUR HANDS, IT IS OUT OF OUR CONTROL. IF YOU ARE CONCERNED OF MAIL BEING STOLEN FROM YOUR HOME, BUY A PO BOX.
