Is Interac e-Transfer safe to use?

When should I send payment after placing an order?
Payment should be sent promptly after placing your order. Order processing begins only after payment has been received and confirmed. Delays in payment may result in delays to fulfillment and dispatch. Full payment timing guidance is covered on the How to Pay page.
Questions About Shipping and Delivery
How long does shipping take?
After payment confirmation and processing (typically 1–2 business days), shipping generally takes 2–6 business days depending on your province. Ontario and Quebec typically receive orders within 2–4 business days; more remote regions or northern territories may take longer. Priority shipping reduces these windows by 1–2 days. Full timeline details are on the Shipping Policy page.
Is free shipping available?
Yes. Complimentary priority shipping is applied automatically on orders of $299.99 CAD or more. No coupon code is required — the benefit is calculated and applied at checkout when the qualifying total is reached.
Does PeptidesCanada ship outside Canada?
No. PeptidesCanada ships exclusively within Canada. Orders are fulfilled domestically to most provinces and territories. International shipping is not currently available.
Will I receive a tracking number?
Yes. A tracking number is sent to the email address on your order within one business day of dispatch. If you have not received tracking information within 2 business days of placing your order, please check your spam folder first, then contact support via the Contact page.
Questions About Products and Availability
How do I check if a product is in stock?
Stock status is displayed directly on individual product pages in the Products catalog. Products that are out of stock are labeled accordingly. Stock levels are updated regularly as inventory changes.
Are all products available for immediate dispatch?
Most products are available for dispatch within the standard 1–2 business day processing window. Specific availability is shown on each product page. If you have a question about a particular item's availability, the support team can assist via the Contact page.
Where can I find quality information for a specific product?
Analytical quality documentation, including Certificate of Analysis references and purity data, is available on the Lab Testing / COA page. Product pages also cross-reference relevant quality documentation where applicable.
Are storage instructions included with my order?
Yes. Storage guidelines are included on product pages and on product labels. For a general overview of storage categories and best practices for research compounds, the Storage and Receiving Records article in the Research Hub provides useful guidance.
