How can I contact support?

You can reach our support team via the Contact page, by email at support@origen.com, or through your account dashboard. We typically respond within 24–48 business hours.

Products & Quality

What purity standards do you use?

Our peptides typically meet or exceed 95% purity, and our small-molecule research chemicals meet or exceed 98% purity. Each batch is tested by third-party laboratories, and certificates of analysis (COAs) are available for every product.

How do I access certificates of analysis?

COAs are linked on each product page and can be downloaded from your order confirmation. Batch-specific documentation is provided so you can verify identity, purity, and potency for your research records.

Do you offer custom synthesis?

We focus on our catalog of standard research compounds. For custom peptide synthesis or bulk orders, please contact our sales team to discuss your requirements and feasibility.

How are products stored and shipped?

Peptides and temperature-sensitive compounds are shipped with appropriate cold packs or dry ice when required. Packaging is designed to maintain stability during transit. Storage recommendations are provided with each product.

Ordering & Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit cards, debit cards, and cryptocurrency (via MoonPay). All transactions are processed securely. Prices are displayed in USD.

When will I be charged?

Your payment method is charged at the time you place your order. For orders requiring additional verification, we may hold the charge until the order is confirmed.

Can I cancel or modify my order?

Orders can often be cancelled or modified within a short window after placement, before processing begins. Contact support as soon as possible. Once an order has shipped, it cannot be cancelled.

Do you offer bulk or institutional pricing?

Yes. For larger orders or institutional purchases, we offer volume discounts. Contact our sales team with your requirements for a quote.

Why can't I order from certain US states?

Our payment processor (MoonPay) does not support cryptocurrency purchases in certain states due to state-specific regulatory requirements. These states include New York (NY), Hawaii (HI), Louisiana (LA), Rhode Island (RI), and Texas (TX). We are unable to process orders to these regions until payment options become available.

Shipping

How long does shipping take?

Domestic US orders typically ship within 2–3 business days and arrive within 5–7 business days. International shipping varies by destination and carrier, usually 7–21 business days. Expedited options may be available.

Do you provide tracking?

Yes. Once your order ships, you will receive an email with a tracking number. You can also view tracking information in your account under Order History.

What if my package is lost or damaged?

Contact us immediately with your order number and any photos of damage. We will work with the carrier to resolve the issue. Lost or damaged shipments may be eligible for replacement or refund at our discretion.

Why was my order held at customs?

Some countries require additional documentation or regulatory review for research chemicals. Delays at customs are beyond our control. We provide necessary paperwork; however, you are responsible for complying with import regulations in your country.
