  • USPS Priority Mail is excluded from promotional shipping offers.
  • Tracking information is emailed as soon as your order is processed.
  • Shipping timeframes begin after payment has cleared.

Academic Chem Lab is not responsible for carrier transit delays once a shipment has been accepted and scanned by USPS or FedEx. Upon carrier acceptance, responsibility for delivery timelines and claims rests with the purchaser and the carrier. For delivery updates, service interruptions, or claims, please contact the carrier directly with your tracking number. Please note: USPS Ground Advantage shipments to Florida have recently experienced higher-than-usual delays.
