Which delivery services do you offer?
We currently offer Royal Mail Tracked 24 as our standard tracked delivery service and Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm where available. We can deliver to an InPost locker when requested.
When will my order be dispatched?
Orders placed before 3:00 PM Monday to Friday are typically dispatched on the same working day. Orders placed after 3:00 PM will normally be dispatched on the next dispatch day. Orders placed after 3pm on a Friday and up to 10am on a Saturday will be dispatched on that Saturday.

Bank Holidays may also affect Royal Mail collection, processing and delivery times. Please allow additional time for your order to arrive around Bank Holiday periods.
Is Royal Mail Tracked 24 guaranteed next-day delivery?
No. Royal Mail aims to deliver Tracked 24 parcels on the next working day following dispatch. This is an estimated delivery timeframe and is not a guaranteed next-day service.
What if I need guaranteed delivery?

Yes. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email containing your Royal Mail tracking number and a link to track your delivery.
What should I do if my parcel is delayed?

If your parcel has not arrived within the expected delivery timeframe, please check your Royal Mail tracking information first.

A parcel will not be considered lost solely because it has been delayed.

If there has been no meaningful tracking update or your parcel is significantly delayed, please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your order number and we will investigate the delivery with Royal Mail where appropriate.

What happens if my parcel is lost?
Where a parcel is suspected to be lost, we will review the tracking and dispatch information and, where appropriate, raise an investigation with Royal Mail.
A parcel will only be treated as lost once it meets Royal Mail's applicable criteria for a lost item or Royal Mail confirms that the parcel cannot be recovered.

Returns, Refunds & Replacements

What should I do if I believe a product is faulty?

Please contact us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. with your order number and details of the issue.

All products reported as faulty must be physically returned to New Wave Solutions Limited for inspection before a fault can be verified and a replacement or refund authorised.

Do I need to send a faulty product back?

Yes. Photographs, videos or other digital images supplied by a customer will not be accepted as a substitute for returning the product.

The product, including the vial, container, label and other relevant packaging, must be returned so that we can inspect the actual item supplied.

Do I have to pay to return a faulty product?

No. We will provide a prepaid Royal Mail returns label, so there will be no charge to you for returning a product reported as faulty.

What happens when you receive my returned product?

Once received, we will inspect the product and, where appropriate, compare the returned item against our order records, batch information and pre-dispatch photographs.

If the product is confirmed to be faulty, we will provide an appropriate remedy in accordance with your statutory rights. This may include a replacement or refund depending upon the circumstances and the rights available to you under applicable consumer law.

What happens if my product arrives damaged?

The damaged product must be physically returned to us before the claim can be verified and a replacement or refund authorised.

We will provide a prepaid Royal Mail returns label for the return.

What happens if I receive the wrong product?

The product received must be physically returned to us before the claim can be verified and the correct product or a refund issued.

We will provide a prepaid Royal Mail returns label, so you will not be charged for returning an incorrectly supplied product.

What happens if an item is missing from my order?

All orders are photographed as part of the packaging process. As there is no missing product available to return, we will investigate the claim using our internal order records, packing and stock information, dispatch records and photographs taken of the order before dispatch.

Where our investigation confirms that an item was omitted from the order, we will dispatch the missing product or provide an appropriate refund.

Do you photograph orders before dispatch?

Yes. As part of our quality-control and order fulfilment procedures, we photograph orders prior to dispatch.

These photographs may show the products included within an order, product labels, quantities, packaging and/or the general condition of the order prior to dispatch.

Can I return an unwanted product?

Where you are purchasing as a consumer, you may have a statutory right to cancel an online order within 14 days of receiving the goods.

Products must be returned unopened, unused and, where applicable, with their original seals intact.

Due to the nature of our laboratory research materials, products that have been opened, unsealed, used, reconstituted, mixed, altered or otherwise handled in a manner that makes them unsuitable for resale cannot be returned unless they are faulty or we are otherwise required to accept the return under applicable consumer law.

Where a return is made because you have changed your mind, you are responsible for the cost of returning the goods unless we agree otherwise.

Should I dispose of a faulty or damaged product?

No. Please do not dispose of a product that you intend to make a claim about. If the product has been disposed of and therefore cannot be returned for inspection, we may be unable to verify the claim or provide a remedy, except where applicable consumer law requires otherwise.
