ProSci Customer Care Department will contact the customer via email telephone to obtain an accurate purchase order. If the customer does not submit a corrected purchase order in writing within 24 hours of contact, the purchase order will be deemed as a cancelled order. After the 24-hour period, a new purchase order will need to be submitted for the order to be processed.

Payment Terms

If ProSci is required to pay any such fee or tax, the customer will reimburse ProSci the full amount. Should the customer decide to pay via wire transfer, the customer is responsible for any wire transfer fees.

USA Orders and Shipping

Orders received by 1:00 PM PST Monday through Thursday are usually shipped the same day to domestic addresses if all the products on the order are in stock. Products are shipped via FedEx Express Priority Overnight unless requested otherwise by the customer in writing at the time of order. Shipping and handling charges are added to the invoice along with a handling fee, unless the customer provides a shipping account, in which case only a handling fee will be added to the invoice. Dry Ice shipments have a separate dry ice fee which will be charged for each shipment. ProSci reserves the right to ship orders in installments based on item stock, or to hold shipment until an order is complete.

International Orders and Shipping

A pro-forma invoice will be issued for any international orders. Shipping fees will be added to the pro-forma invoice unless the customer provides a shipping account in which case, a materials fee will be added to the invoice. Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and wire transfers are accepted methods for pre-payment. The customer is responsible for contacting ProSci to obtain information for wire transfers. Customers are responsible for wire transfer fees and may not deduct them from payment. Once payment is received in full, the order will ship. Products are shipped via FedEx Express International Priority on Fridays. ProSci reserves the right to ship orders in installments based on item stock or to hold shipment until an order is complete. Due to the complex nature of customs processes, international customers are responsible to resolve any issues that arise with their country’s customs clearance regardless of the shipping account or shipping method. It is the responsibility of the recipient to ensure that all importation documentation is ready to ensure efficient delivery. ProSci is not responsible for customs delays.

Not all products will be authorized for return based on the nature of the product. Returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee if accepted.
