Return with UPS (Philippines)Updated 2 months ago
Key Reminders
Your sample must be returned from the same country or region where your kit was delivered.
Before returning your sample, please activate your kit using the CircleDNA mobile app.
Once sealed in the collection tube with the stabilizing solution, your sample remains stable for up to 3 months, even at temperatures between -20ºC to 50ºC (-4ºF to 122ºF). Still, we encourage returning it as soon as possible.
CircleDNA is not responsible for return shipping costs if you use a courier service independently without prior approval. We are unable to provide refunds for such expenses.
Philippines customers: An Export Declaration fee of PHP 220–240 may be charged at drop-off. If you are charged, please email your receipt to [email protected] for reimbursement.
For orders with fewer than four kits, only one set of airway bills is provided. Need extras? Contact [email protected].
