Shipping Terms & Conditions

Time in Transit

Agtech leverages the logistics of UPS and FedEx to ensure your products arrive timely and in good condition. Agtech's central warehouse is located in Kansas and many customers will find at checkout that Ground services may be the best option, even for some cold items depending on estimated transit times. Two-Day and Overnight services are also available.

If your domestic U.S. destination order contains items which should be kept cold, or contains items which should not be allowed to freeze, Agtech recommends that the package arrive within two days. Based on your location from Agtech's warehouse in Kansas, economical UPS or FedEx Ground service will deliver the package to you within 2 days while locations farther away may require 2nd Day Air service.

If your order is shipping direct from Agtech to a destination outside the U.S. and the order contains items which should be kept cold, or contains items which should not be allowed to freeze, Agtech will pack your order with additional “blue” ice inside an insulated foam box.

We ship your refrigerated and frozen products with ice packs. When your shipment arrives, the ice packs may be melted and might even be warm. However, unless subjected to extreme (greater than 98F / 37C) heat for several hours, the products maintain their integrity and should be refrigerated immediately upon receipt. Please request overnight shipping for frozen liquids (C22 or ABT-050 Trypsin)

Please understand that Agtech is not responsible or liable for loss or inconvenience incurred due to delayed or non-delivery of your package. Delivery completion is the carrier’s responsibility. Charges for UPS or FedEx Ground, Next Day Air, or 2nd Day Air deliveries that are delayed due to inclement weather or other “acts-of-God” are generally not refundable per UPS and FedEx policy. Exception are made from time to time after consultation with your salesperson.

The updated Agtech shipping calculator will keep these limitations in mind and help ensure your products arrive as expected, in good condition, ready for your use.

Cold Items

Several dozen products Agtech sells, per manufacturer’s recommendation, are held frozen or in refrigeration while at Agtech’s facility. When ordering these items, you are encouraged to select a delivery method which allows the shipment to reach you within two days (overnight if C22 or ABT-050 trypsin).

Any items in the webstore which require expedited shipping will display a COLD ITEM yellow tag. Additionally, the shipping calculator will automatically limit shipping options which would exceed recommended transit times.

Backorders, returns, and exchanges

Back Order Freight Charge: Back orders are charged for shipping. We do our best to keep this shipping charge as low as possible.

Returns or Exchanges: Returns or exchanges are at the discretion of management and are product dependent. To exchange or receive a product refund, you must first contact your salesperson within 10 days from the invoice date and discuss the issue. The salesperson may then elect to create a return-materials-authorization (RMA). When returning product, please include a copy of your invoice along with the reason for the return.

Note: Items returned must be in their original package, un-opened, unused, and in new condition to receive credit.

No Returns: Items that cannot be returned include serums, specialty media, semen extenders, prescription pharmaceuticals, refrigerated/frozen products, and non-stocked, special-orders items.

Damaged Freight

Your order leaves Agtech in perfect condition. Damages and shortages must be reported to Agtech within 48 hours of arrival to your address.

If your shipment is damaged in-transit, retain the packing box and its contents exactly as you received them. Take pictures of the carton and the damaged products with your mobile phone. Then call Agtech immediately! We will see to it that the delivery company comes to inspect the damage, and that the damaged goods are replaced.
