Vendor verification process — how to get listed
Pinned because it affects plans people have already made, not because it is dramatic. Everything below is what is confirmed as of today.
This post is the record, and it will be edited as things change — with the change noted rather than substituted. If you have something firmer than what is here, a document or a date or a first-hand account, post it and it goes in with credit.
Read it this way:
Nothing here is advice about your situation, and the situation is still moving.

Agreed, with a caveat about community reputation: it is a lagging indicator. Reports arrive weeks after orders, so a supplier can look excellent for a month after quality has already changed.

I disagree that testing history is decisive. It tells you what a supplier did when they were being watched. Continuity of behaviour under stress — a late shipment, a failed test, a complaint — is more predictive than any run of good results.
Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

Browse GL BiochemTaking the question as asked, rather than the general version of it. The pattern that distinguishes a bad batch from an exit is behaviour rather than product. A bad batch comes with communication, a reshipment offer and a batch number. An exit comes with slower replies, pressure toward less reversible payment methods, sudden discounting, and the same reassurance repeated without any new information. The product tells you less than the correspondence does.

Same position here, arrived at the long way round. The useful checklist is about verifiability rather than presentation. Independent test results commissioned by buyers rather than by the seller, consistency across multiple batches over time rather than one flattering report, a physical address and a company registration that resolve, batch and lot numbers on the actual labelling, and a shipping practice that matches what the material needs. Everything a good-looking website provides is cheap to fake; none of the items above are.
I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.
