No worries! I completely understand. Thank you for letting me know.I am approving this thread mainly to reply and point out that any new members whose first few posts -- especially when it's their very first post -- is about who/where to buy there "stuff" are going to have such posts deleted until they've actually proven they're not just here for some imaginary guide to the best dealers.
I apologize if it seems like I'm picking on you Alli_bezy. Unfortunately yours was about the 30th post I've had to review today that was this exact type of question.
To answer your question, Made in China is just another variation on the Alibaba approach to give any vendor a selling platform regardless of if they are good or bad. It's basically a virtual flea market where anyone can buy a space whether they're selling tirzepatide or fentanyl maybe even fentanyl-laced tirzepatide.
Spend some time looking around our little community here and reading some of the 54382 posts where you'll find that questions like this have been asked and answered several times, and there are countless discussions over the merit (or lack thereof) of a large number of vendors.
Again, sorry for sounding like such a jerk right out of the gate! Welcome to the forum, we have a lot to offer for people just starting out on this journey.
I hope you're not referring to this site! This site does not vet vendors. No vendor in the Vendor Connection is endorsed by this forum. If you mean "screen" as in have rules for vendors my apologies but I don't want any of your readers to get the wrong idea.I then found this site. It appears that the moderator screens the vendors and people post reviews about vendors etc.
As @nonyabizznez stated, there are no endorsed or screened vendorsBefore I found this site I looked on the Made in China website. The issue I had with the site was everything was based on trust. If I ordered something and it was not delivered or it was delivered and not what I ordered then there was nothing I could do. After much searching and emails and issues with payment I ordered a kit. It seemed to be fine.
I then found this site. It appears that the moderator screens the vendors and people post reviews about vendors etc.
I think that vendors on this site are also on Made in China. The issue is still trust but on this website you as the consumer through reviews and the efforts of the moderator you have much more information about the vendor.
I would not order again from Made in China because it seems riskier than ordering from the vendors on this site. The prices are about the same.

Some buyers post reviews but I'd assume that most hold their cards to their chest. Many members enjoy the schadenfreude of newbies learning the hard way or yesterday's revered vendor falling off their pedestal with crappy test results. No better lesson than getting burned. Mustering up sympathy for an Internet stranger's sob story is fatiguing. Here there are many sob stories usually accompanied with stupidity, impatience, Amazon expectations and eating off the tray of their highchair using their fingers when no spoon was offere
After reading your post my question is how does a vendor get onto this website? Does the moderator have any control? or do any screening?I hope you're not referring to this site!

You actually hit the nail on the head, it is not the site it is the track record, and that can change any time.After reading your post my question is how does a vendor get onto this website? Does the moderator have any control? or do any screening?
Maybe I am naive but on this website I perceive (maybe wrongly) that I have more information about vendors than if I randomly picked a peptide vendor from Made in China. On this site there are some reviews and the vendors that stick around seem to have a track record which builds a certain amount of trust. I understand they can seem trustworthy and then disappear.
Buyer beware when buying from Made in China or from vendors here. It feels less risky buying from the vendors here on this website but that may be an illusion.
