Quality Research Chemicals Originate from Quality Sources
Scam sites which collect your payment but then do not deliver products.
Websites which will sell chemicals mislabelled as genuine research chemicals, with the possibility of disastrous consequences.
Websites which sell genuine chemicals as and when they have supply but when they do not have supply they deliberately mis-label and sell other chemicals as genuine research chemicals.
In navigating the minefield of sellers there are a number of precautions that the research chemical enthusiast who's looking to make a purchase should stick to:-
1. Take note of friend's recommendations (but be skeptical of tips about forums unless substantiated by other forum members also).
2. Does the website look 'clean' and professional? It might sound obvious but a reputable and professional seller must have an internet site that reflects these very traits. Is the site regularly updated?
3. Be wary of sellers offering products which no other seller is able to offer at that moment in time.
4. Does the vendor display a full set conditions and terms online?
5. Does the vendor make use of a respected third party payment processor who uses SSL encryption to process your card details? Sign in the address bar from the page which you are to submit your payment details the website begins with 'https' and not 'http'.
6. What are the hidden costs? Determine when the vendor charges a fee for postage and packaging that this is not excessive.
7. With regard to the particular quality of a seller's product, this is almost impossible to find out simply from looking at their website. Is the seller selling a well-known branded product? If so, the research chemical buyer may take some re-assurance out of this. In any event it might be wise for that buyer to make a small 'test' purchase when buying from the particular seller for the first time, before placing any larger orders.
