At Gila Monster Science, we want customers to receive their orders accurately and in appropriate condition. Because our products are research materials, returns and refunds are subject to the conditions below.
1. Research-Use Products
Gila Monster Science products are supplied for laboratory research purposes only.
Due to the nature of research materials, opened, used, altered, or tampered-with products are generally not eligible for return or refund.
2. Damaged Orders
If your package arrives visibly damaged, please document the condition of the package and contact us as soon as possible.
Please provide:
- Order number
- Photos of the shipping package

We will review the issue and determine the appropriate resolution.
3. Incorrect Product
If you receive a product different from what you ordered, contact us promptly with:

- Photos of the product and packaging
If the error is confirmed to have originated with Gila Monster Science, we will work with you on an appropriate resolution.
4. Missing Items
If an item appears to be missing from your order, contact customer support as soon as possible.
We may request photographs of the package and its contents to assist with the investigation.
5. Unopened Products
An unopened product may be considered for return only when:
- The product remains sealed and unused
- The product is in its original condition
- The request is made within the applicable return period
- The return is approved by Gila Monster Science in advance
Do not send products back without receiving return authorization first.

7. Order Cancellation
If you need to cancel an order, contact us as soon as possible.
Cancellation requests cannot be guaranteed once an order has entered processing, fulfillment, or shipment.
If an order has already shipped, the customer may need to follow the applicable return procedure instead.
8. Refunds
If a refund is approved, the refund will generally be issued to the original payment method.
The time required for the refund to appear may depend on the payment provider or financial institution.
Shipping charges may not be refundable unless the refund is related to an error attributable to Gila Monster Science or otherwise required by applicable law.
9. Refund Review
Refund requests may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
Approval of a refund does not automatically establish eligibility for future returns or refunds.
10. Research Material Responsibility
Customers are responsible for ensuring that products are appropriate for their intended lawful research application before placing an order.
Gila Monster Science does not accept returns or provide refunds based on a customer’s decision to use a product for a purpose outside its stated research-use designation.
