If you need to cancel your order before mailing your sample to the lab, contact us immediately at support@htmatestcanada.com. We will issue a full refund if your order has not yet been processed.
If you decide not to proceed with testing after ordering, contact us within 30 days of purchase before mailing your sample to the lab. We will issue a full refund provided your sample has not been submitted.
To initiate a return:
If you have not yet mailed your sample to the lab, you may request a refund within 60 days of purchase. A $15 CAD processing fee will be deducted from your refund.
Once your hair sample has been mailed to the lab, refunds are not available. At this point, laboratory processing has begun and we have incurred irreversible costs. This applies even if:
Once your test results have been delivered, the service is considered complete and no refunds are available.
The customer is responsible for following the collection instructions carefully. If a sample is rejected by the lab due to insufficient quantity, incorrect collection technique, contamination, or other customer-side errors, a refund is not available. A new order would be required to retest.
In the rare event that a sample is rejected due to a lab-side processing error, we will review the situation on a case-by-case basis. Please contact us at support@htmatestcanada.com with your order number and the lab's rejection notice.
If your sample is lost in transit to the lab:
We strongly recommend getting a Canada Post tracking number when mailing your sample to the lab — this is the best protection against lost samples.
