Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions about ordering, shipping, quality, and compliance at Keystone Aminos.
Ordering & Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
Payment processing on this site is currently a mock placeholder for demonstration purposes — no real charges are made. Before launch, the store owner should connect a real payment provider suited to their business.
How do I use a discount code?
Enter your discount code in the discount field at checkout before placing your order. The discount is applied to your order total immediately. Only one discount code can be used per order.
Can I combine multiple discount codes?
No — one code per order. If you have several codes, use the one that gives you the best price.
Shipping
Where do you ship?
We ship domestically within the United States only, including US territories. We do not ship internationally.
How much does shipping cost?
Shipping is a flat $10 on all orders, and free on orders over $300.
How long does handling take?
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days (placeholder — confirm your actual handling time). Once shipped, your tracking number is emailed to you automatically.
How do I track my order?
A tracking link is emailed to the address on your order as soon as the shipping label is created. You can also find your orders in your account's order history.
Products & Quality
Are your products third-party tested?
Yes. Every batch is submitted for independent third-party analysis (HPLC and mass spectrometry), and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) is available for each batch.
What purity standard do you hold?
Our standard for catalog compounds is ≥99% purity unless otherwise stated on the product page. Refer to the batch COA for exact results.
How should products be stored?
As general guidance, store lyophilized vials cold and away from light. Consult the product page and standard laboratory practice for compound-specific handling.
Returns
Can I return a product?
Due to product integrity requirements, research products are non-returnable once shipped. The exception is orders that arrive damaged or incorrect — contact us within 7 days of delivery and we will make it right.
My order arrived damaged or incorrect — what do I do?
Email support@keystoneaminos.com within 7 days of delivery with your order ID and photos of the issue. We will arrange a replacement or refund per our returns policy.
Accounts & Affiliate Program
Why should I create an account?
An account gives you access to your order history and lets you save your details for faster checkout.
How does the affiliate / referral program work?
Every account automatically receives a unique referral code. When someone places an order using your code, you earn a 10% commission on that referred order, paid out according to the affiliate terms in our Terms of Service.
Compliance
Are your products for human use?
No. All products are strictly for laboratory research use only. They are not for human or veterinary consumption, and no product is intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Who can order?
Purchasers must be at least 21 years of age and qualified researchers or laboratory professionals purchasing on behalf of a legitimate research organization.
Can you refuse an order?
Yes. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our discretion, including orders we believe may violate our research-use terms.
