Shipping
We use FedEx for most shipping, as we have negotiated rates with them that are less
expensive in most cases. But UPS is still available if requested. We have direct
computer links to Federal Express and UPS by which we can trace shipments expeditiously
at any stage. Reasonable charges, along with the excellent service these carriers
provide are additional benefits to our customers.
Hazardous Product Shipments
Our company is dedicated to safe product handling and shipping, conforming to all
regulations by OSHA, DOT and IATA for surface and air shipments. Our personnel have
been certified to handle hazardous goods. Due to additional handling and special
packaging requirements on hazardous goods, a fee will be added for each box containing
hazardous products. This charge can be avoided in some cases where small amounts
per container may be shipped as “excepted or small quantities”. A Material
Safety Data Sheet accompanies each hazard shipment. MSDS sheets and technical notes
for many items can also be found on our web site at any time.
Insurance
All shipments are fully insured, unless we are notified otherwise. The insurance
cost is included in the freight charge on the invoice.
Returned Goods Authorization (RGA)
Orders may not be returned without our prior approval. Your satisfaction is one of
our goals. Our Customer service will expedite the return of goods for credit or exchange.
Call for an “RGA” number before returning any product. Write this number
on all shipping labels and correspondence. Do not write this number on the cartons.
Returned goods will not be accepted without a valid “RGA”.
Certain conditions apply for acceptance of a return and issuance of an “RGA”:
a) The item(s) must have been purchased from us;
b) Not more than 60 days should have elapsed from the invoice date. Regarding
damaged shipments, we must be notified within 10 days of delivery date. Email:

condition, with all packaging, any software, manuals, warranty cards and other accessories
and documentation included;
d) Once an RGA has been issued, it is valid for 30 days after issuance and cannot
be extended or re-issued;
e) The following categories of goods cannot be returned:

- Photographic film and any other products having an expiration date close to, or having expired;
- Products which have been used;

- Shipments which are returned without an RGA are subject to refusal and/or return to the origin, freight collect.
f) Returned goods which are not the fault of the company are subject to a 15% restocking
fee. Buyer agrees that the company shall be the sole judge regarding any returns.
When calling our Customer Service Department about a possible return, please have
the following pertinent data at hand:
a) Packing slip order number;
b) Date of order;
c) Customer code number;
d) Product description and catalog number;
e) Your purchase order number.
Firm Orders
"Special order" products, "Custom made" or customized products, products supplied to the customer as accommodation and orders with unusually large quantities require a firm order. Firm orders are non-cancelable, non-returnable and may require a pre-payment on order.
Damaged Shipments
We must be notified within 10 days of delivery date to be eligible for exchange / reimbursement.
Please retain the shipping container and all contents including the packing material.
Do not discard anything unless a hazard is involved (follow the correct safety rules
for disposal or safe-keeping).
Notify our Customer Service Department and supply us with the following information from the packing slip:
a) Our packing slip order number;
b) Your purchase order number;
c) Your customer code number;
d) Product number and quantities of damaged items;
e) A short description of the damage.
Immediately contact the shipping company and arrange for an inspection (“request an inspection”).

report from the carrier company’s inspector or representative.
Do not return damaged shipments until a claim has been filed, the inspection is completed
and the report has been received by you.
Obtain an RGA number from our Customer Service Department, who will assist you with
return / replacement details.

Products offered by Ted Pella, Inc. are primarily intended for laboratory research

Hazardous Chemicals
First and foremost, chemicals should only be handled by qualified technicians or

of such reagents. Many chemicals in this catalog can cause injury or damage in short
or long term exposure.
We furnish Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and apply warning or hazard labels
as required. Absence of such labels should not lead the user to assume that the use
of the chemical is completely safe.
New Product Developments
If you cannot find a product in our catalog, perhaps we can locate it or develop
it for you. New developments are a vital part of our program and we are interested
in bringing them into general scientific use. Such suggestions become the property
of Ted Pella, Inc. unless otherwise agreed to.
Notice
We reserve the right to refuse orders from anyone.
