Do you run an affiliate scheme?

Yep! Check the affiliates page for more details.

How do you ensure the quality of your products?

Testing, testing, and more testing.

All of our products are tested once after being manufactured, and then undergo a stringent process of quality assurance by our friends at Supplement Logistics.

No method on its own is absolute, which is why we use multiple methods to make sure that everything we sell is what we say it is, is of the highest purity, and most importantly is safe.

We test for identity, purity, and an array of heavy metals using FTIR and HPLC.

Encapsulation is an important part of the process and presents an opportunity to give you that extra bit of confidence in us. For this reason, our products are encapsulated at an FDA registered and cGMP certified facility that has been in operation for over 25 years.

Can I see your Certificates of Authenticity?

Yep! You can find all of our CoAs on each individual product page. We update the certificates as soon as we restock, so they will always show what you’re getting from us.

Shipping

What countries do you ship to?

We ship to the USA and worldwide, with a few exceptions.

Due to troubles with customs and a high number of packages being seized, we do not ship to these countries:

Afghanistan, Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Cuba, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Morocco, Norway, Sweden, Sudan, Syria, UAE, and the UK.

Due to the recent Psychoactive Substances Bill, unfortunately, we cannot ship to the UK.

Due to the postal carrier problems, we cannot ship to Guatemala.

Note: We do ship to Australia but have experienced problems in the past so please be warned that things may not go smoothly.

Please note that we are unable to support shipments via international reshippers. If a shipment is lost, damaged or is confiscated whilst using a reshipper we are unable to offer refunds. Please ensure you comply with local laws as well as the laws in the country of your reshipper, and verify that your package conforms to the terms of service of your reshipper.

How long does shipping take within the US?

We ship either standard or expedited shipping, which usually takes 4-7 business days or 2-4 business days respectively.

How long does international shipping take?

International shipping usually takes between 7-20 business days, though we can’t make any guarantees.

Customs is the #1 reason for any delays you might experience.

What if my package is stopped by customs?

We make sure to fill out the correct paperwork on all international orders and so your package should make it through customs fairly quickly.

The standard delay is 2-3 business days, but it could be a lot longer depending on the country.

What happens if my package is seized?

It is very important that you make sure what you are ordering is not scheduled in your country.

As long as this is the case it is extremely unlikely your package will be seized.

In the event that your order does get seized unfortunately we are not able to offer a refund.

My country has high import taxes. Can you reduce the listed value of the contents?

We are unable to reduce the value of your order, nor can we change the description or mark it as a gift.

This applies to all international and domestic orders of any value.

How do I change the delivery address for an order I just placed?

Send us an email at hello@nootropics.com as soon as you can. If it hasn’t shipped we can change the address for you.

Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept Visa, MasterCard, and Bitcoin.

Is ordering secure?

Nootropics.com is served over HTTPS and our payment processor has been certified as a Level 1 PCI Service Provider, the most stringent level of certification available.

Why do you ask for my phone number at the checkout?

Banks and credit card companies like to verify as much information as possible with customers so that they can prevent fraudulent activity. Adding this extra piece of info is simply a security measure for your safety. We’ll never use your phone number for marketing reasons.

Why does my transaction keep getting rejected?

It’s likely the bank is halting the transaction, and you’ll need to contact them to verify that it is you making the purchase.

Policies

Do you offer refunds?

Yes. If you wish to cancel your order or ask for a refund for any reason, we are happy to. Refunds can take up to 21 days, depending on banks.

What is your returns policy?

We offer a 90 day no questions asked money back guarantee as long as your product is returned unopened.

If you would like to make a return please contact hello@nootropics.com. They will be able to create a refund order and send you information and a return label to place on the returning package.

Before issuing a refund for unused items, we will need to receive the item back and inspect it to assure they are no issues.

Do you offer bulk discounts?

Yes! We offer a standardized 5% and 10% discount for buying 2 or more of the same product, except on Citicoline and L-Theanine.

If you are interested in making an especially large purchase or are interested in resale, please get in touch at hello@nootropics.com.

Products

Do you sell nootropics in powder form?

No. Whilst dealing with nootropics in powder form certainly has its benefits, capsules provide convenience and user-friendliness that you can’t get when using scoops, scales and home encapsulating machines.

We understand that one of the reasons people like to measure their own powders is because different amounts of a nootropic work for different people. We took this into account when calculating how much to put in each of our capsules, making sure that our products work for almost everyone.

Are your products vegetarian/vegan?

Yes! We use vegetarian capsules for all our products, which are also suitable for vegans.

What is the shelf life of your products, and how should I store them?

If our products are stored in a cool and dry place, out of direct sunlight, they will generally last up to three years.

We will never send you a product that is nearing its expiration.

What should I do if I am not satisfied with my order?

If you have any problems at all please don’t hesitate to get in touch at hello@nootropics.com.
