International vendor directory — need advice

The pattern that distinguishes a bad batch from an exit is behaviour rather than product.

My experience ordering cross-border ordering internationally: I've ordered from a Canadian pharmacy. Customs can be hit or miss.

Shipping time: 10-21 days
Customs clearance: held for 3 days then released
Quality: Janoshik tested at 99.3% purity

International ordering adds complexity but can save 60-80% compared to US prices. Research your country's import laws first.

Right, and one flattering data point from a group buy is not consistency.

Bookmarking. The distinction being drawn above is the one nobody else makes.

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.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

The figures, for anyone assembling their own picture. Practical: whatever you change, write down the date and the reason. In three months the reason is what you will have forgotten, and the reason is what makes the record worth having.
