Chemical Delivery

Certain chemicals are classified as "Dangerous Goods" under the ADR regulations and must be individually boxed and sent by specialist carriers. We no longer apply a surcharge for this service.

Whilst we have always requested End User Declarations (EUDs) for certain chemicals, changes from October 2023 to the Control of Poisons, Explosives & Drug Precursors Regulations have broadened the scope of chemicals covered. We now have a single combined EUD to cover all legislation and all chemicals. The main changes to the legislation can be found below

Live Specimens Delivery

Live Specimens: To ensure living biological specimens reach you in perfect health, they are automatically placed on a separate order for next day delivery once the specimen is ready. This does not mean they will be delivered the day after the order is placed.
No live specimens or refrigerated products will be despatched on a Friday as we cannot be sure of the conditions they will be stored in over a weekend whilst with our carriers. There is no surcharge for this service.
