FAQ SF Bay Area Peptides

Ordering & payment

Q: How do I pay for my order?

A: At checkout, choose Credit Card and enter your card details in the secure card fields (Visa, Mastercard or American Express), or choose Venmo, confirm your order total in the Venmo app, then return to the site to complete your order.

Q: Do I need a credit card?

A: No. You can pay by credit or debit card, or by Venmo. If you choose Venmo, you pay from your existing Venmo balance or linked funding source, the same way you would send money to a friend.

Q: Will I have to verify my identity or send a photo ID?

A: We may. We may ask to see a government-issued photo ID to confirm you are 21 or older — for example, at hand-off on a courier delivery or before shipping a first order. Anything your own payment app asks of you is between you and that app.

Q: Do you store my payment details?

A: We do not store full card numbers. Card details are entered into secure fields provided by our payment processor and go directly to the processor; we receive only a payment confirmation, a transaction reference, and the card brand and last four digits. Venmo payments happen entirely inside the Venmo app.

Q: Why do I have to confirm after I pay?

A: This step applies to Venmo only; card payments are confirmed automatically. A Venmo payment happens inside your own app, so our site is not notified automatically. Confirming on the thank-you page tells us to go and match your payment against our account. If Venmo gave you a transaction ID or reference, paste it in — it makes matching instant.

Q: How long does payment take to confirm, and when will my order ship?

A: Card orders are confirmed instantly at checkout. Venmo payments are checked against our account, which is usually quick during business hours. Orders confirmed before 2:00 p.m. Pacific on a business day are dispatched the same afternoon — same-day courier across the Bay Area, FedEx 2Day nationwide.

Q: What will show up on my statement?

A: Card payments appear as a charge from SF Bay Area Peptides; the exact descriptor depends on your card issuer. If you do not recognize a charge, please contact us before disputing it. Venmo payments show as a normal Venmo transfer.

Q: Is my payment reversible?

A: If something goes wrong with your order we refund you directly — card refunds to the card you paid with, Venmo refunds through Venmo — under our Refund, Return & Cancellation Policy. Contact us first and we will take care of it; we resolve issues faster than a card dispute does.

Q: My order says On hold. What now?

A: On hold applies to Venmo orders: it means we have your order and are matching your Venmo payment. Card orders go straight to Processing. If you have not paid yet, send the payment and tap I’ve sent my payment on your order confirmation page. If you have already paid and the order stays On hold longer than you would expect, email support@sfbayareapeptides.com with your order number and the Venmo transaction ID. Please don’t send a second payment. Step-by-step instructions are on our Payment Instructions page.

Q: Can I cancel my order?

A: Yes. You can cancel any order for a full refund at any time before it is dispatched — email support@sfbayareapeptides.com or call (415) 236-2301 with your order number. Once an order has been dispatched it can no longer be cancelled; see our Refund, Return & Cancellation Policy for details.

Q: Do you accept physical cash, ACH, or checks?

A: We don’t accept physical cash, ACH or checks. Online orders are paid at checkout by credit or debit card (Visa, Mastercard or American Express) or by Venmo. All orders, including Bay Area courier deliveries, are paid at checkout; the courier does not take payment at the door. Institutional and university purchasers with procurement requirements that can’t accommodate app payment should email support@sfbayareapeptides.com and we’ll work with you directly.

FAQ SF Bay Area Peptides

Products & quality

Q: What is the purity of your peptides?
A: Every lot we supply has been tested by a third-party laboratory. We also send each lot for our own independent re-test, by HPLC for purity and, where the laboratory offers it, mass spectrometry for identity, and post those reports by lot number on our Lab Reports page as they come back.
Q: Are these intended for human consumption?
A: No. Every product on this Site is intended exclusively for laboratory and in-vitro research. They are not for human or animal consumption, medical use, therapeutic use, or any other unauthorized application.
Q: Will you advise me on dosing?
A: No. We do not provide dosing, protocol, or medical advice. We are a research-compound supplier; clinicians and licensed researchers are the appropriate resources for protocol design.

Account & membership

Q: Do I need an account to order?
A: Yes — a researcher account is required to place an order. This lets us verify eligibility and store your shipping address.
Q: Will you sell or share my email?
A: No. We only send transactional emails (order confirmations, payment receipts, shipping notices) and — if you opt in — occasional research-note and new-product announcements. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Returns & support

Q: Can I return a product?

A: Because we can’t verify how research material has been stored once it leaves our control, we don’t accept returns for change of mind once an order has been dispatched. If your order arrives damaged, incorrect or incomplete, tell us within 48 hours of delivery and we’ll replace it or refund you in full. If a product doesn’t match the lab report for its lot, tell us within 30 days. Full details are in our Refund, Return & Cancellation Policy.

Q: How do I reach you?
A: Email support@sfbayareapeptides.com. We respond within one business day.
