Shipping & Returns

Draft — last edited September 2026
Note on this document: this reflects how shipping and orders actually work on the site today, including one real gap flagged below. It is not legal advice — have a lawyer review it, particularly around international consumer-protection return rights, before relying on it as final.

1. Where we ship

We ship internationally, with the exception of a small number of restricted destinations. If we're unable to ship to your address, you'll be told at checkout before you pay — restricted destinations are enforced automatically, not left to chance.

2. Shipping cost and delivery time

Build needed, not just a policy decision: the checkout currently collects a shipping address but does not yet calculate or charge a separate shipping cost, and no carrier or delivery-time estimate is wired in. Before this page can honestly state a price or timeframe, shipping cost calculation needs to be built into checkout (either a flat rate, a carrier-calculated rate, or built into product pricing) — otherwise this page would be promising something the system doesn't yet do.

3. Customs and import duties

For international orders, you are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, or fees charged by your own country on arrival. These are not included in the order total and are not collected by BactoCore.

4. Order tracking

You can view your order status under "My Orders" once signed in.

5. Returns — bacteriostatic water

Because bacteriostatic water is a sterile product, for hygiene and safety reasons we cannot accept returns of opened or used units. If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact us through the support form within a reasonable time of delivery (for example, 14 days) with a description and, where possible, photos, and we will arrange a replacement or refund at our discretion.

6. Returns — membership

Membership is a one-time digital purchase, not a physical product, so there is nothing to physically return. See the Terms of Sale for how the membership fee and its store credit are treated — that page flags an open decision on whether the fee itself is refundable before its credit is spent, which should be resolved and reflected here too once decided.

7. Lost or delayed packages

If your order hasn't arrived within a reasonable time of the estimated delivery window, contact us through the support form and we'll look into it with the carrier.

8. Contact

Any shipping or return question can be sent through the site's support form — you can also leave a phone number there if you'd rather we call.
