02Costs, duties & taxes

What's included in free shipping

The price you pay at checkout is the price you pay. There are no import charges to settle on arrival.

Paid by Lorderan

  • Freight to your loading dock, warehouse or fulfilment centre
  • Tariffs and import duties
  • Taxes
  • Customs clearance fees

Not included

  • Inside delivery, such as moving equipment beyond the dock, upstairs or into the lab
  • Reshipping after a return caused by an incorrect or incomplete address
  • Return shipping on international returns, which is deducted from the refund

Large instruments are heavy. Please plan for suitable equipment and personnel to move them from the delivery point to their final location.

03Processing & delivery times

Processing & delivery times

When your order ships, and what can affect its arrival.

  • Processing time

    Orders usually ship within 3 to 7 business days after payment has been processed, unless the product page, checkout or an email from us states a different timeframe.

  • Estimated delivery

    Each product page shows an estimated delivery time next to the “Add to cart” button. Please check it before ordering. Delivery dates are estimates and may vary with order verification and timing.

  • Split shipments

    Larger or multi-item orders may arrive in more than one shipment.

  • Remote areas

    Deliveries to remote regions may take an additional 1 to 2 days.

  • Weekends and holidays

    Carriers do not deliver on weekends, national holidays or public festivals.

  • Events outside our control

    We cannot guarantee against delays in the carrier network, or those caused by weather, natural disasters, communication disruptions, government actions or changes to postal policy.

04Your delivery details

Your delivery details

Accurate details are the single biggest factor in an on-time delivery.

  • Complete and correct information

    Please provide your full name, a complete delivery address and a daytime phone number, so the carrier can contact you to arrange delivery.

  • Address changes

    Contact us as soon as possible if your address needs to change. Once an order has been prepared for shipment or has shipped, the address can no longer be changed.

  • PO boxes

    We cannot deliver to PO boxes. Orders with a PO box address are cancelled and refunded automatically, so please use a street address.

  • Incorrect or incomplete addresses

    If a shipment is returned because the address supplied was incorrect or incomplete, we will contact you to confirm the correct details and reship the order. A reshipping fee will apply.

  • Undeliverable shipments

    If a shipment is returned to us as undeliverable, please contact us to arrange reshipment.

  • Secure delivery location

    Please choose an address where your delivery can be received safely. Lorderan is not responsible for orders that are lost or stolen after delivery.

05When your delivery arrives

Inspect before you sign

This is the most important step in the whole process. Taking a minute here protects your right to a replacement or refund.

STEP I

Note any damage

Before signing, check the packaging. If anything is damaged, describe it specifically on the delivery receipt or proof of delivery.

STEP II

Take photos

Photograph the damaged packaging clearly, from several angles, before unpacking.

STEP III

Tell us immediately

Email the photos and your order number to support@lorderan.com straight away. We reply within 24 hours.

Please note

If a delivery is signed for without noting visible damage, or we are not notified promptly, we are unable to accept a later claim for shipping damage. Risk of loss and title pass to the buyer once the order is handed to the carrier.  Report a damaged delivery

06Refused deliveries & international returns

Refused deliveries & international returns

Terms that apply when a delivery can't be completed or an order is sent back.

  • Refused or uncollected deliveries

    If a delivery is ready and you do not accept it within a reasonable time after we ask, you will be responsible for the resulting costs, including return shipping, disposal and destruction charges.

  • Orders from our China warehouse

    Some orders shipped from our warehouse in China cannot be cancelled once placed.

  • Return shipping for international orders

    For international returns, the cost of return shipping is deducted from your refund. It depends on the location and weight of the items and is calculated when we initiate the return. See our refund policy for full return terms.
