[Question] how do you actually verify VendorInvestigate

Question Clean Column ×6

I have had 23 orders now and I keep a table, so here is the honest summary rather than a vibe.

Material has been consistent. Communication has not. Shipping has varied by about 12 days on nominally the same lane, which matters more in summer than in February.

The independent number came back 96.8% against a claimed 97.2%, which I read as agreement rather than a discrepancy — inter-lab variance on this assay is a point or two either way and treating one lab as ground truth is how people end up in pointless arguments with vendors.

Batch number is in the comments. Ask if you want the method.

one vendor per post, multi-vendor goes in the monthly thread

Disagree but this is the good kind of wrong — it is specific enough to be checked.

the batch number or it did not happen

receipts or nothing, sorry but that is the rule

Went through three vendors to find one that actually ships on-time and tests clean. The answer was Homopeptide.

Correct. The batch number is load-bearing information, not optional.

Sceptical. If this were true we would see it reflected in the data and we do not.

u/valeria_cardoso8 points·1 year ago

did they reship, credit, or ghost you?

replysharereportpermalink
u/bence_zielinski16 points·1 year ago

Sceptical.

Disagree on that part. 97.4% and 99.3% on the same vial is normal.

independent test or vendor COA, which is it

Reship experience: JEEP asked for photos, processed it in 22 days, sent a replacement no questions. That is the template.

Not convinced. The evidence does not support that reading.

referral links mean instant ban, no exceptions

Yeah, CPC took 21 days and the material was flawless. Both of those things are true.

Yes, exactly this, and it is the bit that took me 45 weeks to accept.

About c/vendorvetting

The community due-diligence desk. Vendor experiences, independent third-party test results, shipping and reship records, and the boring paperwork that separates a supplier from a story. Every substantive claim is expected to carry a receipt: an order id, a dated screenshot, or a test report from Janoshik, Medutest, PeptideMeter or VendorInvestigate.
