§04

Transit & cutoff times

Order cutoff
2:00 PM CT, Mon–Fri. Orders placed before cutoff on a business day ship the same day. Orders placed after cutoff ship the next business day.
Business days
Monday–Friday, excluding federal holidays. Weekends and holidays are not business days.
Saturday delivery
Not available. UPS 2nd Day Air orders placed Thursday after cutoff or on Friday will deliver the following Monday at earliest.
Tracking
A tracking link is sent to your email as soon as the shipment is picked up. Scans typically appear within a few hours.
ACH authorization
Same-day ship requires the ACH authorization to complete before pick. In practice this happens within hours; for very late-cutoff orders the authorization timing may push ship to the next business day.
§05

Address accuracy

Address accuracy is the buyer's responsibility. Carrier-corrected addresses incur a carrier surcharge that is passed through to the buyer.

If the address is wrong and the package is returned to us, we'll re-ship to a corrected address — buyer pays return + outbound shipping. We won't ship to a different address than the original order without re-verification.

§06

Lost or delayed packages

Carrier scans are the source of truth. We monitor them and act when a shipment goes silent.

No scans for 48 hours
We open a carrier trace and email you with status. Most "lost" packages reappear within 1–3 business days.
Confirmed lost
If the carrier confirms loss, we file the claim and re-ship from current stock at our cost.
Marked delivered, not received
Email support@retapure.com within 48 hours. We open a trace and review with you. Discreet packaging means no one but the addressee should be able to identify the contents.
§07

Packaging

Discreet, unbranded outer packaging — no RetaPure marks, no compound names visible on the outside. Carrier label, address, and your name are the only exterior identifiers.

Inside: each vial is individually sealed, labeled with compound name, fill weight, and a QR code linking to its lot's Certificate of Analysis. Insulation is sized to the shipping speed.

§08

Federal holidays

We observe US federal holidays. The shipping cutoff does not apply on holidays — orders placed on a holiday ship the next business day.
