HOW CAN I SPEAK TO A OCI CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE?
Customer service representatives are available at 310-329-7469 between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. PST. Orders can be placed 24 hours a day on the company website.

HOW ARE ORDERS SHIPPED?
All orders are shipped U.P.S. or truck when the gross weight of your order makes the use of a common carrier more economical. U.P.S. Next Day Air, Second Day Air, or airfreight services are available to expedite rush orders. These special services will incur additional costs. When an order is shipped by truck, our traffic department negotiates with a number of trucking companies to ensure the most competitive freight rates available. Should you wish to have us use a specific trucking company, please let your account representative know at the time you place your order. That information can become a permanent part of your account file, if you choose. Please be aware that specifying your own freight carrier may result in higher shipping costs to you.

DOES OCI COLLECT SALES TAX ON ORDERS SHIPPED?
Organic Compounds collects sales tax in accordance with the laws of the states and localities in which we are located. Generally, orders shipped to or picked up from California will be taxed unless you have a valid exemption or resale certificate on file with us.

This tax amount will not be calculated until the order has been finalized. There may be exceptions for certain orders; however, the local tax laws will always determine the tax charged.

WHAT IS OCI’S RETURN POLICY?
In the event that you are dissatisfied with anything you purchase from us, excluding special orders, simply return the item for a full credit, replacement, or refund within 30 days of receipt! There’s no hassle, no "third degree," no worrying about getting a credit. However, in order for us to receive credit from our vendors, we must have all such items returned within 30 days of purchase. When returning equipment, items must be in new condition and returned in their original packaging. New equipment should be tested for a few minutes in a controlled environment before normal use. We reserve the right to deny warranty claims on equipment not returned in original condition and/or original packaging. Please call us for specific instructions. 1.310.329.7469

WHAT ARE SAFETY DATA SHEETS AND WHERE ARE THEY LOCATED?
A Safety Data Sheet (also known as MSDS) is a document required for specific products by U.S. Federal Law, 29 CFR 1910.1200. According to the law, manufacturers/distributors of chemical products must supply an MSDS for each hazardous chemical they produce or distribute. This law also requires U.S. employers to have an MSDS in the workplace for each chemical that they use. An MSDS explains the hazards associated with the product, as well as what precautions to take in order to avoid those hazards.

The MSDS for specific products are located on the product detail page. You can search for items by name, or by selecting from the category menu. Once you have found the product, simply click on the SDS link and the sheet will be displayed in a separate window.
