Shipping Info by Region

United States

Most items are shipped from our Chicago, IL based warehouse facility, Arkman Logistics. Our warehouse facility is a “ship-out only” location and does not accept customer pickups or customer service inquiries.

Most items are shipped via UPS and require a signature for delivery. If you are not available on the first delivery attempt, shipment tracking information will indicate the shipment status and/or a note will be left with instructions on how to receive your order.

If you wish to waive the signature requirement, you must indicate this request on your order. Waiving the signature requirement releases all liability from Richway & Fuji Bio Inc. in the event your package is lost or stolen after delivery.

Once your order has shipped, we are not able to remove the signature requirement due to the nature of our shipping carrier’s policies.

Certain low-value, smaller-sized items may be shipped via USPS. Items shipped via USPS include, but are not limited to, brochures, flyers, and other printed materials.

Due to a high rise in fraud and package theft, any changes to delivery must be done through Richway HQ. UPS will direct all recipients inquiring about a change to contact us directly. Please call during our normal business hours.

Our warehouse does not ship on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays.
