Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our research peptides, ordering process, shipping, returns, and laboratory use.
Products & Quality
What are research peptides and how are they used?
Research peptides are short chains of amino acids used in laboratory studies to investigate biological processes, cellular signaling, and therapeutic pathways. They are strictly for in-vitro and in-vivo research purposes only — not for human consumption, veterinary use, or therapeutic application. Researchers use peptides to study areas such as metabolism, tissue repair, cognitive function, aging, and hormone regulation.
Are your peptides for human consumption?
No. All peptides sold by Pharmacy Express 247 are explicitly labeled and sold for laboratory and research use only. They are not for human consumption, veterinary use, or any therapeutic application. By purchasing, you confirm that you are a qualified researcher and will use these products in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Each product ships with a “Research Use Only” label and handling instructions.
What purity level do your peptides have?
All our peptides are lyophilized with a minimum purity of 99%, verified through independent High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry analysis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every order, documenting batch-specific purity, identity, and quantitative data.
What is a Certificate of Analysis (COA)?
A Certificate of Analysis (COA) is a document issued by an independent testing laboratory that verifies the identity, purity, and quality of a specific batch of peptides. Our COAs include HPLC chromatograms, mass spectrometry data, quantitative analysis, and batch numbers. Every order ships with the corresponding COA for full transparency. You can also request a COA before purchasing by emailing us with the product SKU.
What is the difference between simple and variable products?
Simple products have a single fixed strength and price (e.g., 10mg vial). Variable products offer multiple strength options under one listing (e.g., 5mg, 10mg, 20mg). For variable products, select your desired strength from the dropdown before adding to cart. Prices vary by strength. All options are from the same peptide batch with identical purity standards.
Ordering & Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept VISA, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and bank transfer for bulk/wholesale orders. All transactions are processed through our SSL-encrypted checkout. We do not store your full payment details on our servers — they are handled securely by our PCI-compliant payment processor.
Is my payment information secure?
Yes. Our entire website uses 256-bit SSL encryption. Payment processing is handled by PCI-DSS Level 1 compliant providers. We never store your full card number or CVV on our servers. Your financial data is tokenized and protected by the same security standards used by major banks.
Do you offer bulk or wholesale discounts?
Yes. We offer tiered discounts for bulk orders: 10+ units receive 10% off, 25+ units receive 15% off, and 50+ units receive 20% off. For wholesale accounts (laboratories, resellers), contact us at sales@pharmacyexpress247.com with your requirements. Wholesale orders can be paid via bank transfer.
Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
Orders can be modified or cancelled within 12 hours of placement, provided they have not yet been dispatched. After dispatch, changes are not possible. Contact our support team immediately via live chat or email with your order number. Address changes are treated the same way — act quickly to avoid misdelivery.
Will I receive an order confirmation?
Yes. You will receive an order confirmation email immediately after checkout, and a dispatch email with tracking number once your order ships. If you do not receive these emails, check your spam folder or contact us. We recommend creating an account to track all orders in one place.
Shipping & Delivery
Do you ship worldwide?
Yes, we ship to over 50 countries worldwide. UK orders arrive in 1-2 business days, Europe in 3-5 days, and USA & worldwide in 5-7 days.

Is the packaging discreet?
Yes. All orders are shipped in plain, unmarked boxes or envelopes with no external branding, product names, or company identifiers. The return address is generic and does not mention “Pharmacy Express” or “peptides.” Customs declarations list contents as “research chemicals” or “laboratory supplies” as legally required. Your privacy is our absolute priority.
What are the shipping costs?
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your location and order weight. UK orders over £50 qualify for free shipping. International shipping rates start from £9.99 for Europe and £14.99 for USA & worldwide. Express shipping options are available at an additional cost.

Laboratory Use
How do I reconstitute lyophilized peptides?
Lyophilized (freeze-dried) peptides should be reconstituted using bacteriostatic water, which contains 0.9% benzyl alcohol to prevent bacterial growth. Slowly inject the water along the inside wall of the vial — do not spray directly onto the peptide powder. Gently swirl until fully dissolved. Never shake vigorously. Reconstituted peptides should be stored at 2-8°C and used within 30 days. Bacteriostatic water is available in our Accessories section.
How should I store research peptides?
Unopened, lyophilized peptide vials should be stored in a freezer at -20°C for maximum stability and shelf life. Once reconstituted, store at 2-8°C (refrigerator) and use within 30 days. Protect from direct light and heat. Always handle with clean gloves and sterile equipment to prevent contamination. Do not freeze reconstituted peptides.
What is the shelf life of your peptides?
When stored properly at -20°C, lyophilized peptides remain stable for 12-24 months from the date of manufacture. Each vial is labeled with a batch number and manufacturing date. After reconstitution, peptides should be used within 30 days when stored at 2-8°C. Always check for any discoloration or particulates before use.
Do you provide handling and safety guidelines?
Yes. Every order includes a handling and safety data sheet with detailed instructions for safe laboratory use. This includes recommended personal protective equipment (PPE), handling procedures, spill response, and disposal guidelines. We also provide online resources and video guides on proper reconstitution and storage techniques.
Can I use your peptides in animal models?
Our peptides are supplied for in-vitro and in-vivo research purposes, including animal models, provided all experiments comply with local ethical guidelines and animal welfare regulations. We do not support or condone any use outside of legitimate research. Researchers are responsible for obtaining necessary approvals from their institutional review boards (IRBs) or animal ethics committees.
