Policy Overview

This Shipping Policy explains the procedures, expectations, responsibilities, and limitations relating to order processing, shipment preparation, carrier selection, tracking information, delivery estimates, and shipment-related matters associated with purchases made through the Royal Research Group website.

Order Processing

Orders are generally processed in the order they are received. Processing times may vary depending on order volume, inventory availability, payment verification requirements, operational capacity, holidays, carrier schedules, and other circumstances that may affect fulfillment operations.

Prior to shipment, orders may be reviewed for payment verification, fraud prevention, shipping accuracy, regulatory compliance, or other legitimate business purposes. Royal Research Group reserves the right to delay, cancel, or request additional information regarding any order when necessary to complete such reviews.

Processing time refers solely to the time required to prepare and transfer an order to the shipping carrier and does not include carrier transit time or delivery estimates.
