# Oath Research shipping, delivery, and returns explained *Oath Research shipping, delivery, and returns for September 2026* > Oath Research's shipping cutoff, its $250 free-shipping line, and exactly what does, and does not, qualify for a refund or a full product replacement. Shipping and returns are where a discount either holds up or falls apart — a good price on a product that arrives late, or cannot be returned when it should be, is not actually a good price. This page lays out what Oath Research commits to on both fronts, in the specific terms Oath itself uses rather than in rounded-up marketing language. On shipping: a dispatch schedule, not a delivery guarantee, with a clear cutoff time and a clear US-only limit. On returns: a defined list of what qualifies for a refund or replacement, a defined list of what does not, and a processing timeline attached to both. None of this addresses whether either promo code changes the shipping calculation — that interaction has not been tested, and this page does not make a claim about it either way. What follows is the shipping and returns policy on its own terms. ## How orders ship Most orders ship on 2-day business air, typically through UPS, with real-time tracking available from dispatch. An order placed before noon MST on a business day ships the same day; an order placed after that cutoff, or on a weekend or federal holiday, ships the next business day. The commitment covers dispatch — the point at which a package leaves Oath's facility — not the carrier's transit time after that, and the two are meaningfully different things worth keeping separate rather than compressed into a single delivery commitment. Shipping is limited to the United States; Oath does not ship internationally, which rules out any order placed from outside the US regardless of code or order size. ## The $250 line Oath waives its shipping charge on US orders over $250, with no other condition attached to that threshold. It is easier to read against typical order sizes than as an abstract figure: a single-item order tends to sit well under that line, while combining a few items in one cart tends to approach or cross it on list price. Whether a discount code changes which side of that line an order lands on is not addressed here — the free-shipping threshold and the two active codes are separate mechanics at Oath's checkout, and this page does not claim they interact in either direction. The threshold itself is confirmed: $250, US orders, nothing else attached to it. A reader planning an order size around that line should treat it as a separate calculation from any code applied at checkout, since this page does not confirm the order in which the two are applied. ## What qualifies for a refund or replacement Oath's returns policy covers five specific situations: a product that does not meet its stated specifications or purity, damage that occurred in transit and is documented with photos within 48 hours, the wrong item being shipped, non-delivery despite tracking showing the package as delivered, and duplicate orders reported before they ship. Each of those is a defined condition with a defined remedy — refund or replacement — rather than a discretionary judgment call. The specifications-and-purity clause is the one worth underlining: it is what ties the batch-testing archive to an actual consequence rather than leaving it as a number on a certificate with nothing attached to it. ## What does not qualify The policy excludes opened or used product, improper storage after delivery, cancellation once an order has shipped, and a straightforward change of mind. None of that is unusual for research material, and none of it is stated here as a hidden catch — it is the ordinary shape of a returns policy for a product that cannot be resold once its packaging is broken. Reading the exclusions alongside the inclusions gives a more accurate picture than either list on its own: the policy is specific and bounded, not a blanket guarantee, and it is more useful for being exact about where the line sits. ## Refund mechanics and payment An approved refund is processed in five to seven business days, with no restocking fee deducted from it, and Oath states a 24 to 48 hour response time on return and support requests generally. Payment at checkout is accepted by Visa, Discover, and American Express, plus direct bank payment, through what Oath describes as a PCI-DSS compliant gateway. None of this changes based on which promo code, if any, is used on the original order — the return and refund terms apply the same way to a discounted order as to a full-price one. ## Ready to use a code?
