Frequently Asked Questions

Do you process or ship orders on weekends or holidays?

Orders are only processed and shipped on business days (Monday through Friday).
We do not process or ship orders on weekends or federal holidays, as our shipping carriers are also closed or operate on limited schedules during those times.

If you place an order after business hours, on a weekend, or during a holiday, it will begin processing the next business day.
Please also allow 24–48 hours for order processing before your package ships.

For time-sensitive deliveries, we recommend selecting an express or 2-day shipping option at checkout to ensure the fastest possible delivery once processing is complete.

I placed my order this morning or yesterday and the tracking isn't showing any movement?

We always strive to get all orders received before 10am PST to be dropped off at USPS and UPS that same day, (However this is not a guarantee), all orders received after 10am PST will be dropped off the following morning before 11 AM PST. However, this is not always possible due to circumstances not in our control or during times of high-volume sales. USPS especially can take 24-48 hours to start updating tracking, that is out of our hands, and we can't control. Please allow at least 48 business hours, doesn't include weekends, before expect tracking movement on your orders. * This can change during heavy volume periods, especially during sales, we always work to get orders out as quickly as possible however there can be delays.

My tracking says delivered however I did not get my package, what can you do?

We understand how frustrating it can be when a package goes missing, especially in a shared residential setting. If according to the tracking details, the order was marked as delivered to the correct address then, unfortunately, once a package is confirmed delivered, we’re unable to control how it’s received or handled at the destination.

If a signature requirement is preferred, and we highly recommend in any shared residential area, that needs to be communicated to use before shipment, as we currently do not require signatures by default. While we’re unable to reship or refund the order directly, we strongly recommend contacting USPS to initiate a missing package claim. They may be able to provide additional details or resolution based on the delivery scan and handoff. We’re here to help however we can during that process—please let us know if USPS requires any documentation from us.

Customer Conduct Policy

We are committed to treating every customer with respect, professionalism, and courtesy—and we expect the same in return for our staff.

While we understand that issues may arise, we will not tolerate harassment, verbal abuse, threats, or any form of disrespect toward our team. Unfortunately, we’ve received a number of hostile messages in the past, and moving forward, we are enforcing a zero-tolerance policy.

We reserve the right to cancel any order without notice if a customer engages in abusive or threatening behavior toward staff.

Thank you for helping us maintain a respectful and safe environment for everyone.

Venmo Refund Policy

Venmo Refund Policy

Due to the nature of Venmo as an instant transfer payment method, all payments are final once sent. Venmo does not allow transaction cancellation or reversal after funds have been transferred to the recipient.

To ensure protection against fraudulent activity or unauthorized refund claims, refunds on Venmo transactions cannot be initiated for a minimum period of ten (10) business days following the date of payment. This holding period allows for verification of delivery, product integrity, and transaction authenticity.

After the ten-business-day verification period, eligible refund requests may be reviewed in accordance with our general refund policy. Please note that all refund considerations are handled case-by-case and require written approval from our support team.

Because peptide products are sold for research purposes only and are not intended for human use, returns or refunds cannot be granted once the product has been opened, used, or compromised in any way.

We strongly recommend that all customers verify their order details and shipping information prior to submitting payment, as Venmo transactions are instant and non-reversible once processed.

For any concerns or refund inquiries after the 10-day verification window, please contact our support team at cs@southernaminos.com with your order number and details.

What do I do if tracking says delivered but it's not there?

If tracking shows delivery to the correct address, and you don't have the package. First you should check with any other people living in the same household to see if any of them got it, then you should check with neighbors. If no one says they, have it you should contact the U.S. postal service or UPS about the package and provide them the tracking. We highly suggest if you live in a shared complex or you have had issues in the past with packages that you contact use at time of order and request to have signature confirmation added to the shipping. If tracking shows delivered and it is the correct address, we are not responsible to provide any refunds or replacements.

Are Southern Amino products approved for clinical, therapeutic, or personal use?

Southern Aminos products are sold strictly for Research Use Only (RUO) and are available solely to qualified researchers working in controlled laboratory environments. These materials are not approved by the U.S. FDA for human or veterinary use, including clinical trials, therapeutic procedures, or any form of consumption.

Southern Aminos operates in accordance with applicable regulatory guidelines, including Section 503A of the FDCA, and limits product access to professional research applications. Additionally, Southern Aminos does not provide usage guidance or protocol recommendations. It is the responsibility of each researcher to consult appropriately qualified experts for proper use and regulatory compliance.

Why does the peptide powder in the vial appear broken clumps or powdery?

This is a normal occurrence and does not affect product integrity. Peptide powders may settle into a compact mass during lyophilization or shipping, then fracture into smaller powder fragments upon handling. This visual change does not compromise purity, quality, or potency.

Why does it take time to dissolve peptides during reconstitution?

A: Certain peptides—especially those with hydrophobic amino acid sequences—may take longer to dissolve during reconstitution. To assist dissolution without compromising structural integrity, gently roll the vial between your fingers to encourage even dispersion. Avoid shaking, which may fragment or denature the peptide chains.

How should lyophilized peptides be stored?

Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides remain stable for up to 24 months at room temperature, provided they are kept in dry, sealed conditions. Once reconstituted with solvent, peptides should be stored at 2–8°C (refrigerated) to preserve structural integrity and prevent degradation. Note: Always avoid repeated freeze–thaw cycles to maintain peptide purity and bioactivity.

What does "Lyophilized" mean?

Lyophilized refers to the freeze-drying process used to stabilize peptides and other biomolecules. During lyophilization, the material is rapidly frozen and subjected to vacuum conditions, removing moisture via sublimation. This results in a dry, porous powder with extended shelf life and enhanced stability, ideal for long-term storage and precise reconstitution.

How Can I Verify the Quality of Your Products?

Our products undergo HPLC testing at a reputable 3rd party lab. For testing results on our products, you can find Certificate of Analysis on each product pages

Q: Can I ingest products sold by Southern Aminos?

o. All products offered by Southern Aminos are strictly intended for research use only and are not approved for human consumption under any circumstances. Ingesting these compounds may pose serious health risks and violates the terms of purchase.

By placing an order, buyers confirm their agreement not to consume or administer these products in any form. Access is limited to qualified researchers operating within controlled laboratory settings.

Where can I find more information on specific products?

While extensive information about peptides is publicly available, Southern Amino does not offer research advice, protocol guidance, or usage recommendations. Doing so would contravene multiple regulatory standards.

By completing a purchase, you confirm that you are a qualified researcher and agree not to ingest or administer any products. All items sold by Southern Amino are strictly intended for controlled laboratory research use only.

Are delivery times guaranteed?

No. Delivery times are estimates only and are not guaranteed. Once an order leaves our facility, it becomes the responsibility of the selected carrier. Transit times may vary depending on location, carrier conditions, and seasonal factors.

If a shipment experiences a significant delay, we will work with you to reach a satisfactory resolution.

What if my USPS shipment shows no movement for several days?

USPS tracking updates may occasionally stall, with packages remaining at the same location for 2–4 days before progressing. However, if there’s no movement for 8–10 calendar days, please reach out to our support team. At that point, we will classify the shipment as lost in transit and proceed with a reshipment at no additional charge.

Which courier do you use for shipping?

We trust USPS (United States Postal Service) and UPS (United Parcel Service) for all our shipments. USPS has proven to be reliable, and we can even ship to P.O. Boxes when necessary.

Can I Use A Shipping Forwarder to Get My Package?

We highly recommend against using shipping forwarders as customers have had tons of issues with them before. Use a shipping forwarder at your own risk.

Why does USPS show my order in the system, but there’s no tracking update yet?

We process a large volume of orders daily, and while USPS may log the tracking information, there may be a delay in updating the status at the sorting facility. Please allow 1-2 business days for the system to reflect the latest updates.

How fast is order processing and shipping?

Orders are typically processed and shipped the same business day (Monday–Friday), however this is NOT a guarantee. Since we ship from within the United States, most domestic deliveries arrive promptly regardless of payment method.

Please note: During major holidays or global disruptions, USPS may experience staffing limitations that can cause temporary delays in transit.

Are delivery time estimates guaranteed?

No. All delivery timelines listed on our site are approximate and not guaranteed. Once an item has shipped, it is fully under the control of the carrier, and transit times may vary due to routing, weather, or service delays.

If your order experiences a notable delay, please contact our support team. We’ll work with you to identify a satisfactory resolution, which may include discounts or partial refunds depending on the situation.

I Paid For Expedited Shipping and My Product Is Late

We completely understand how frustrating it can be when a package arrives later than expected — especially when you’ve paid for expedited delivery.

Please note that expedited shipping refers only to the carrier’s transit speed, not overall processing time.
All orders require 24–48 hours of processing before shipment, even if you select an express service.

Once your order has left our facility, delivery times are controlled by the carrier (UPS, USPS, DHL, etc.). While delays are rare, they can occur due to weather, routing issues, or high seasonal volume. Unfortunately, these situations are outside of our control.

If your package is in transit and showing as delayed, we recommend:

  1. Tracking your shipment using the link in your confirmation email.

  2. Allowing an additional 1–2 business days for carrier resolution.

  3. Contacting the carrier directly for real-time delivery updates.

If your order still hasn’t arrived after that timeframe, please reach out to us at cs@southernaminos.com — we’ll review your tracking and assist however we can.

What should I do if I encounter issues when processing my order?
