Shipping policy

Last Updated: July 9, 2026

1. Scope & Eligibility

This Shipping Policy governs all orders placed through novablue-labs.com and forms part of the agreement between the customer ("You") and Novablue Labs LLC ("We," "Us," "Our"). By placing an order, You acknowledge that You have read and understood this policy. This Shipping Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service, Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy, and Privacy Policy.

We currently ship to addresses in the United States and Canada. Orders placed with a shipping address outside of these regions will be cancelled and refunded in full.

Charges from Novablue Labs LLC appear on your card statement as "NOVABLUE" or "SP NovaBlue" If you do not recognize a charge, please contact us before disputing with your bank.

2. Order Processing

2.1 Handling Time

All orders require 1–2 business days for processing before shipment. Business days are Monday through Friday, excluding U.S. federal holidays. Orders placed after the daily cut-off time of 11:00 AM PST will begin processing on the next business day.

2.2 Order Confirmation

Upon placing an order, You will receive an order confirmation email. This confirmation does not guarantee product availability. We reserve the right to cancel or modify any order at our discretion, including orders that appear fraudulent, contain errors in pricing or product information, or cannot be fulfilled. If we cancel an order, a full refund will be issued to your original payment method.

2.3 Address Accuracy

You are responsible for providing a complete, accurate, and deliverable shipping address at the time of purchase. If you discover an error after placing your order, contact us immediately at support@novablue-labs.com and we will make reasonable efforts to correct the address before shipment. Once an order has been handed to the carrier, address changes may not be possible.

2.4 Delivery Addresses We Accept

We ship to residential addresses, business addresses, and P.O. Boxes in the United States and Canada. We are currently unable to ship to APO/FPO/DPO military addresses.

3. Shipping Options & Transit Times

We offer the following shipping methods:

United States:

  • Free Standard Shipping — Estimated transit: 5–10 business days — Cost: FREE
  • Expedited Shipping — Estimated transit: 3–5 business days — Cost: US $9.95 (flat rate)

Canada:

  • Free Standard Shipping — Estimated transit: 7–12 business days — Cost: FREE
  • Expedited Shipping — Estimated transit: 5–8 business days — Cost: US $14.95 (flat rate)

Total delivery time = Handling time (1–2 business days) + Transit time.

We ship via USPS, UPS, FedEx, and Canada Post, depending on destination and service level. Transit times begin once the order has been handed off to the carrier, not from the date the order was placed. Actual delivery times may vary based on carrier capacity, destination, customs processing (for Canadian orders), weather, and other factors outside our control. Transit times are estimates and are not guaranteed.

4. Tracking

Once your order has shipped, You will receive an email containing your tracking number and a link to track your package, typically within 24 hours of shipment. Please allow up to 48 hours for tracking information to become active in the carrier's system.

Please wait until the end of the estimated delivery window before inquiring about a delayed order, as most delays resolve without intervention.

5. Shipment & Delivery

5.1 Shipment

Tracking information provided by the carrier is our documentation of shipment. Once an order has been tendered to the carrier, the carrier assumes operational responsibility for the handling and transit of the package.

5.2 Delivered Packages

A package is considered "delivered" when the carrier's tracking system records a delivery scan at the shipping address provided by the customer. Delivery scans are our starting point for confirming order fulfillment — if you do not receive a package that shows as delivered, we will work with you and the carrier to investigate and resolve the issue under the process in Section 6 below.

5.3 Safe Delivery Location

We recommend ensuring that your delivery location is safe, secure, and accessible to the carrier. If You reside in an area prone to package theft, You may wish to select expedited shipping with signature confirmation (available at checkout), have your package delivered to a P.O. Box or work address, or arrange for pickup at a carrier location.

6. Missing, Lost, or Stolen Packages

6.1 Package Marked as Delivered But Not Received

If the carrier's tracking information shows "Delivered" but You have not received the package, please take the following steps:

  1. Check all potential delivery locations around your property, including side doors, garages, rear entrances, and with neighbors;
  2. Wait 24–48 hours, as carriers occasionally mark packages as delivered prematurely and packages sometimes arrive the following day;
  3. Contact the shipping carrier directly with your tracking number to request a delivery investigation;
  4. If unresolved, contact us at support@novablue-labs.com within seven (7) days of the recorded delivery date.

Our commitment: We will work with you and the carrier in good faith to investigate non-receipt claims. Where appropriate, we will offer a replacement shipment or a full refund. Resolution is provided in accordance with applicable consumer protection law and card network rules.

6.2 Packages Lost in Transit

If a package has not been scanned or updated by the carrier for more than 10 business days from the ship date (or 15 business days for Canadian orders), it may be considered lost in transit. Contact us at support@novablue-labs.com and we will file a carrier trace investigation. If the package is confirmed lost, we will send a replacement shipment or issue a full refund at your choice.

6.3 Damaged Packages

If your package arrives damaged, please refer to Section 6 of our Cancellation, Return & Refund Policy for the damage reporting process. Damaged shipments are eligible for replacement or full refund at your choice, with return shipping covered by Novablue Labs LLC.

7. Canadian Orders — Customs, Duties & Taxes

For orders shipped to Canada:

  • GST/HST, PST, and provincial sales taxes applicable to your province may be collected at checkout or by the carrier upon delivery, depending on the shipping method;
  • Customs duties and brokerage fees may apply for shipments valued above CBSA de minimis thresholds and are the responsibility of the customer unless collected at checkout;
  • Novablue Labs LLC has no control over customs processing times. Canadian transit times may be extended due to customs inspections;
  • If a package is refused, abandoned, or returned to sender due to unpaid duties, taxes, or brokerage fees, we will refund the product price. Original shipping charges and return shipping costs incurred by us may be deducted from the refund;
  • Novablue Labs LLC is not responsible for packages seized or held by customs authorities.

8. Undeliverable & Returned Packages

If a package is returned to Novablue Labs LLC as undeliverable (including due to incorrect address, unclaimed package, or refused delivery), the following applies:

  • We will contact you promptly using the email address on your order to confirm the correct shipping information;
  • Re-shipment can be arranged upon confirmation of the corrected address. Additional shipping charges may apply if the return was due to a customer address error;
  • If you elect not to have the order re-shipped, we will issue a refund for the product price. Original shipping costs and return-to-sender costs incurred by us may be deducted from the refund.

9. Contacting Us Before Disputing a Charge

If you have a concern about a shipment, delivery, or charge, we would appreciate the opportunity to resolve it directly. Please contact our support team before initiating a chargeback or dispute with your bank — most shipping issues can be investigated and resolved faster through direct communication than through the card dispute process.

Nothing in this Policy limits your right to dispute a charge with your card issuer or bank as provided under the Fair Credit Billing Act, applicable Canadian consumer protection law, or other applicable law.

10. Force Majeure

Novablue Labs LLC shall not be liable for delays in shipment or delivery resulting from causes beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, severe weather events, pandemics, epidemics, government actions or restrictions, war, civil unrest, strikes, labor disputes, carrier disruptions, supply chain interruptions, cyberattacks, or utility failures. In such events, delivery timelines will be extended accordingly, and we will work with affected customers on reasonable resolution.

11. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Novablue Labs LLC's total liability arising from or related to shipping shall not exceed the total amount paid by the customer for the affected order. In no event shall Novablue Labs LLC be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from shipping delays or delivery issues.

Nothing in this Section limits or excludes liability that cannot be limited or excluded by applicable law, including statutory consumer rights under U.S. federal or state law or Canadian federal or provincial law.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Shipping Policy from time to time. The version in effect at the time of your order governs that order. The current version is always posted on our Site with a "Last Updated" date.
