At this time, we only ship within the United States. Express shipping is not available for P.O. Box addresses. We reserve the right to decline shipment to any address at our discretion.

6. Lost or Stolen Packages
Helix Research is not responsible for packages that are lost, stolen, or misdelivered after the carrier confirms delivery. If your tracking status shows “delivered” but you have not received your package, please contact the carrier directly. If a package is lost in transit (no confirmed delivery), please reach out to us and we will assist in locating the shipment or arranging a replacement.
