Why is my order on hold?
All orders go through our fraud detection system to ensure a safe and secure shopping environment. We are also verifying the payment has been received. If it has been 3-4 business days and your order has not confirmed, please reach out to us as there may be an issue with payment. If you submitted an order and selected eCheck as the payment method, please allow 5-7 business days (in some cases longer) for verification and processing. This is for fraud prevention or potential typos in the payment details.
I forgot to enter my discount code upon checkout, can you apply it for me?
Unfortunately, we cannot apply discounts after your order is placed. You can use the code on your next order. If you were issued a unique coupon code and it has expired, please reach out to us and include the code so that we can extend the date for use. Most coupons are not stackable, therefore you may not be able to use multiple coupon codes and additional discounts on one order.

Where do you develop your compounds?
We have equity in three labs, two abroad and one in the US.
Do you offer custom synthesis or larger bulk?
Yes, we do on some compounds! Contact us with your questions and we will be happy to assist.
Why does my product say not for human consumption?
The products for sale on compoundcatalog.com are not for human consumption. The products on this site are intended for research purposes only by research institutions. The terms and conditions you agree upon when checking out state that when purchasing these products, you are confirming you are a valid research institution.
How do you ensure 99.6% purity in your compounds?
We take purity testing protocols very seriously. We purity test each batch our labs produce, and if it does not meet the minimum criteria for purity threshold it is rejected/destroyed. That threshold is 99.6% for most compounds; we also push for higher percentages with a few other compounds due to their nature, but nothing in our inventory is below 99.6% and most of our compounds are 99.9%. From the point of origin (our labs), product is shipped to our distribution office in large batches. Once it is received at our distribution office, we send small samples of each batch to one of a variety of independent labs. We do this to establish a checks and balances system, allowing us to compare to our original HPLC test against the independent test. This creates transparency, as well as ensures quality is consistent. Once that is verified, the batch is approved and available for sale to public/private research institutions and organizations.
Are your solutions flavored?
Absolutely not. A flavored product would imply that it is for consumption, and our compounds are not for human consumption.
Will my powder come with a measuring scoop?
Not at this time. We are currently looking into this option and might include scoops at a later date.
Do I need a scale for powder?
If you want accuracy, yes you do. Scoops measure volume and scales measure weight. This can be significant when working with different compounds. It is highly recommended to use a milligram scale for accurate measurements.
I've heard some vendors use mildly toxic solvents like DMSO. What do you use as a solvent in your solutions?
We certainly DO NOT use DMSO in our solutions and never have. We are 100% opposed to DMSO in any of our solutions because it is considered to be toxic. None of our solutions have DMSO as a component. We do not use propylene glycol (which is cheap, used by many and considered to be slightly toxic). We use high grade polyethylene glycol (a.k.a. PEG, which is what the medical industry uses) in congruence with ethyl alcohol and a proportion of deionized H2O. All of our solutions have a varying ratio of PEG 300 or PEG 600, ethyl alcohol, deionized H2O or distilled H2O.
How do I measure a solution?
All of our solutions come with a 1 mL transfer pipette. The pipette is marked and has increments of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1. The compound’s label has the mg per mL for each solution.
Shipping
Which mail courier do you use for shipping?
We use USPS.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes we do, on orders over $150 and sent to any address in the USA.
What is the cost of shipping?
Domestic US Shipping Only
- Orders under $150 = $9
- Orders over $150 = Free Priority Shipping
- Upgraded Expedited Options
- Priority Mail Express – 1-2 Business Days: $28
International shipping
- Rates vary from the two options to choose from:
- Priority & Express – Once your address is entered on our checkout form shipping cost will be calculated.
Do you ship to PO boxes?
Yes we do!
Can you ship my order overnight?
No, we offer USPS Priority Express shipping for USA orders. Priority Express takes 1–2 business days, but it is not always guaranteed next day delivery. This is the fastest shipping option available from USPS, and that is what is offered as upgraded shipping if you do not want it sent first class.
What does the package look like?
Our packaging is nondescriptive and there are no markings that suggest the contents. The shipping label does not mention Compound Catalog. We use plain shipping materials including plain padded envelopes, and USPS flat rate packaging.
Why does the tracking number say "not found" or "waiting for shipment"?
Tracking numbers can take up to 48 hours to update in the USPS system. We ship Monday–Friday. We do not ship weekends. If you place an order on a Saturday and get a tracking number, it will not show up on usps.com until Monday night. If it has been two business days and you have not received tracking information, please contact us.
It seems like it's been a while and my order hasn't been delivered yet.
Check the delivery status via the emailed USPS tracking number. If the package was undeliverable and it is being sent back to us, we will not reship it for free if there were errors that you put in the address. Additionally, USPS delivery speed has been affected by budget cuts from the US government. We still ship as soon as we possibly can (within 24 hours with the exception of weekends/holidays). The delivery times of USPS have changed, but our level of service has not.
I lost my tracking number, what do I do?
The fastest way to locate your tracking number is to log into your account and view your orders. Please follow these instructions:
- Log into your account
- Click View Orders
- Open your most recent order
- Your tracking number will be in the order
My tracking number says delivered, but I don't have my package.
If your tracking status says delivered, Compound Catalog cannot accept responsibility for your lost package(s).
A few things to check:
- Check where your regular mail is delivered. The USPS tracking link will say where the package was delivered (i.e mailbox, parcel locker, mailroom etc.)
- Look around the delivery location – the package is usually mixed in with or hidden in your regular mail
- Check with anyone else that may have access to your mailbox or mail room area (i.e. roommates, family members, neighbor, etc) .
- See if someone else accepted the delivery (i.e. front office staff, HOA, concierge, neighbor, etc.)
If you’ve checked all possible places your mail could be, you’ll need to contact or visit your local USPS Post Office (or local mail courier for international orders) as they will be able to assist you with locating the package. Please bring or have your tracking number and they will assist you in locating it. If you are certain your mail has been stolen, we require proof that a claim has been made with USPS (or local carrier for international orders) and a police report stating the date of stolen mail in order to consider reshipping.
