Sales Tax Notice (California Only)
Sales tax is automatically applied only to orders shipped to addresses within California. If you are a California-based wholesale customer with a valid resale certificate and require sales tax exemption, please contact us before placing your order so we can verify your exemption and assist you with checkout.
Payment Policy
We accept all major credit cards. When paying online, please use the cardholder’s name, not the institution’s name.
We do not accept purchase orders due to past fraudulent transactions, incomplete information, and extended payment delays.
For security reasons, our bank requires that we do not disclose account details to prevent identity theft. Due to increasing fraudulent activity, we take extra precautions to protect sensitive financial information.
Prices are listed in US dollars (USD). For international customers, the final cost will depend on the current exchange rate and any currency conversion fees applied by your credit card provider or bank. Please note that customs duties and import taxes are always the responsibility of the buyer.
Shipping
Default shipping container: FedEx Size S2 box (22.23 × 6.83 × 28.73 cm). The total shipment weight is less than 1 lb (0.454 kg). Up to 20 additional antibodies or antigens can be included in the same box without increasing the size or minimum billable weight of 1 lb (0.454 kg). For international shipments, the minimum billable weight is 1 kg, regardless of actual weight.
Antibodies are shipped with frozen gel packs in a compact styrofoam container. Protamine proteins and epitopes are stable at ambient temperatures and do not require cold packaging.
Important: Choose overnight service or international priority for antibody shipments. If antibodies arrive defrosted, they remain stable at ambient temperature. Store them in the refrigerator until aliquoting, then freeze portions for long-term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent degradation.
Shipping Costs & Customs
FedEx real-time rates appear at checkout after the billing and shipping addresses are entered—we do not charge handling fees. University and institutional shipping rates often benefit from lower shipping rates due to higher shipment volumes. If desired, select “Use your FedEx or UPS shipping account” option, choose your carrier from the dropdown menu, and enter your shipping account number in the box along with any optional notes. For international shipments, providing a shipping account number and any necessary import permits can help expedite customs processing. Since regulations vary by country, Briar Patch Biosciences LLC is not responsible for customs delays or additional duties/taxes.
