Frequently Asked Questions

We have offices in Johannesburg, Pretoria and Witbank. We ship from Johannesburg south and Johannesburg North from 2 separate dispatch centers. The separate centers assist us in efficient dispatch as a result of high dispatch volumes from time to time.

Unfortunately we offer no self-collect. The reason for this is due to the fact that we ship different products from different dispatch centers sometimes in 2 shipments. This sometimes does not allow us to consolidate an order for collection in an easy and timeous manner. In addition to this, our dispatch is sterile and we try not to allow member of the public into these properties due to contamination concerns.

We do not offer these certificates due to the high cost of obtaining and renewing these, which affect the costs of the products to consumer.

As we don’t offer certificates of authenticity, we offer reviews that can be seen on our website, www.peptides.co.za , on Facebook under reviews: https://www.facebook.com/researchpeptidesza/reviews/?ref=page_internal and on HelloPeter : https://www.hellopeter.com/research-peptides . We also offer a no questions asked money back guarantee on all orders should the result not be evident or should you for one reason or another be unhappy with product. We offer one swop or refund per customer, whichever the client chooses.

As there have been many scams with peptides and other products on the internet, we understand this question. We have been trading since 2006, we are a registered Pty Ltd having registration number 2019/082063/07 which can be verified on the CIPC website here: https://eservices.cipc.co.za/Search.aspx. We are also a medically registered (with CIPC) company and a VAT registered company having registration number 4280285448 which can be verified by SARS here : https://secure.sarsefiling.co.za/vatvendorsearch.aspx . You pay into an account held at Nedbank in the name of Research Peptides South Africa (Pty) Ltd and non-delivery can be reported to Nedbank and dispute opened. Our WhatsApp line is also RICA’d. We deliver hundreds of parcels each week and a google search would also reveal fraud or misconduct. We also now have a score and rating with scam advisor seen here: https://www.scamadviser.com/check-website/researchpeptides.co.za 

This we supply on request with pleasure. As we dispatch we receive the tracking information. This can be given to a client to self-track a parcel

On shipping of your parcel, we dispatch and get a tracking number. The parcel is collected by a third party courier company. We endeavor to make use of the better couriers in South Africa as they often change “score” with regards to service, we adjust our shipping accordingly. When parcel leaves our dispatch with the courier we are limited as to directing the delivery of such parcels. We supply our customer with a tracking number and contact information for the courier. It is the clients responsibility to track and trace from this point onwards as we are unable to determine what issues may be encountered by the courier, we are also unable to control courier operations.

We are able to offer a tracking number and in many cases track for you. We are also able to resend parcels that are lost by the courier free of charge to you. We are unable to offer a follow up service with the courier as often the courier will not deal with us being the sender and will only deal with the client. We are also limited in terms of what we can do to assist with delays and internal issues at the courier.

We are unable to offer this information as we have little control over the third party carriers. The better way to get this information would be to contact the courier company with the waybill we can give you, and ask them when they will come to you. You can also make arrangements directly with them for delivery.

As our products are locally produced, we have built in to the products heat tolerance to allow for the African climate. Parcels can withstand up to 35 degrees Celsius for 24 hours before degrading. We send parcels in heat sensitive bubble wrap and we monitor the progress of parcel delivery. In the event of compromised parcels we replace these free of charge. For outlying high temperature areas like Oudtshoorn, Loxton, Kuruman etc, we send parcels with cold pack.

As we are a large business, very often we are unable to take calls due to time constraints. We offer a 7am to 4pm business days WhatsApp support line to assist with questions and information needed. This support line is manned by knowledgeable agents that can in most cases assist with a query. Where the query is unresolved it is very quickly escalated to a manager or a person that will help. We are from time to time able to return calls or take calls however this is seldom. For this we apologize.
