So I was all sorted sent my money to PPHK but then found out they don't post to vietnam at moment. I looked at the other company i had narrowed down to final two and they have stopped delivery to Vietnam as well. Now i am back to square one..

Two questions

How did you decide which company to use? not asking for the company just your decision process
How do I find out who posts to vietnam? Do i just need to contact every single company or is there a better way? Search option didn't bring up much

Thanks

Feedback, and reviews on Glp-1 forum and price. And due to the second question...at first just figure out, which company would you like to deal with and then send them the message, and ask about deliveries to ur country.

one more question for a company like -

Shanghai ERP Biotechnology (ERP)

they have more than one contact. is there a way to decide which contact to message or much of a muchness? or again finding reviews?

I dealed with them couple times. Started to message to one of the reps, she didn't answer as frequent and quick as I required, hence I sent the message to another one and was happy with the service...so just give it a blind shot and check how it goes with them.

Sounds like a plan thanks!
 
I had two I heard about here, bought once. Fast shipping, great prices and great product, so I've purchased from them a few times, maybe more. I also do a bunch of GB. They ones I deal with do a bunch of GB, have a good rating and following. They also sell top name products that I've heard of. All are US based, but we know where the stuff comes from.

Thanks if I was in US would def order from US warehouse!

Hope I haven't missed any good options

Ive done similar, just reach out to them all asking about shipping countries and where they ship from so you dont waste time gain. I did similar to find out they didnt ship to the UK.

A few stock direct from US/EU warehouses so they might have better options if CH -> VN is an issue

THanks Didn't think about where warehouse was located might affect delivery.
 
Depends on the urgency I guess, but I hate dealing with customs or waiting around.. so I first look at vendors with a US warehouse; this already rules out most vendors. Then I look at customer feedback, availability of group tests, coas (I know vendor coas mean nothing but still they are a sign of a vendor making an effort), then occasionally I will ask annoying questions about missing coas to see how sellers react as a litmus test for their reliability, accountability etc, batch tracking, etc. If there is no urgency, I'll do a group buy that includes testing.

awesome thanks!! good tips. Think i am out of option of Group Buy as i am in vietnam but love that idea.
 
Personally I am just waiting to find what I need at a US warehouse company and go from there. I know its a bit more but I dont mind not having to deal with potential issues with customs. Sadly most of the suppliers don't do USA warehouse and the ones that do the product flies out quick.

This million-dollar question—sometimes feels literal. Thanks for asking!

Choosing a vendor in this space is a bit like online dating: everyone uses filters, everyone claims they love long walks on the beach, and half of them are catfishing you with five-year-old photos.

If you want to know how to filter out the noise and find a reliable partner for your research, here is my personal field guide to vendor red flags and gold standards.

1. Put the Pricing in the Post (No, I Don't Want to Join Your Discord)​

If a vendor drops a flashy “fash-bang hurry sale” post on this forum but wraps up their offer with "DM me on Telegram," "Join our Discord," or "Check our website for details," I’m already exhausted.

We are on a forum. You are making a sales pitch. Just post the prices here.

Case in point: Just in the last 24 hours, a vendor posted a thread directing everyone to their website for products and pricing. Intrigued, I took a look. Total ghost town. Not a single price listed on the entire site. But wait, it gets better—or worse. On several product pages, they actually mismatched the product pictures with the incorrect peptide information and data.

Look, if you can’t get the labels right on your own digital storefront, how am I supposed to trust that the correct compound actually made it into the vial? You’re asking a potential buyer to play pharmacological roulette before they even know what you're charging.

2. "Show, Don't Tell" (The Transparency Paradox)​

If an overseas vendor wants to impress USA buyers, the absolute quickest way to fail is to constantly declare, "We are 100% transparent!" while hiding everything behind a curtain. Don't tell me you're transparent—just be transparent.

Here is what actual transparency looks like:

Clear Product Identification;

Spell it out. If you are going to use an abbreviation or an acronym for a compound, make sure the actual, full scientific name of the product is clearly linked right next to it.

Real Testing Data;

I am completely unimpressed by stock photos of unsold boxes stacked on top of a desk, or hype-filled claims that you are the "biggest," "most secure," or "most trusted." Save the hyperbole for your marketing meeting. I favor vendors who present clear, verifiable Certificate of Analysis (COA) documents and independent, third-party testing results from Janoshik.

The Chain of Custody;

Don't just show a PDF from three months ago. Tell us exactly how the batch we are buying matches the Janoshik test delivered to our door.

3. Keep It In an Email​

Call me old-fashioned, but I will choose a vendor who communicates via standard email over a WhatsApp handle every single day of the week. Why? Because I like to retain the conversation history. WhatsApp messages have a funny habit of disappearing or getting "accidentally" deleted when a batch goes sideways or a package gets lost. A clean email thread keeps everyone honest and provides a hard copy of what was promised.

The Perfect Menu Checklist​

If a vendor wants my business, their pitch should read like a proper menu, not a treasure hunt. I want to see a single, clear format that includes:

The precise product name (no guessing games)

The exact price per unit/vial kit

Clear shipping and delivery charges upfront

Accepted payment methods (without a 12-step tutorial)

Standard delivery tracking methods

If you can check those boxes, provide a verifiable Janoshik report, and keep the conversation in a professional email thread, you don’t need to tell us your customers love you—they will do it for you.

this is fabulous!!! thanks for sharing
 
got some solid advice here! I like to look for price, reviews, shipping policy and do they ship to Canada - probably more ship to Canada than Vietnam, but still several who don't. For you I'd make step 1 seeing if they ship to you before even wasting time on other info.
 
ChicagoFit nailed it. An easy checklist to narrow down your search. For me, another criteria is US warehouse but lots of people are comfortable risking customs for a lower price.
 
Stick the providers telegram chat logs into AI of choice and let them tell you

The two US sources I use have CN prices. The GBs I do are US based with unreal good prices, and obviously it all comes from China.
 
I read a lot here. I saw a couple of guys in the vendor section praising companies that they had dealt with. They were even involved in some independent testing groups and had posted positive independent testing results. They had a solid post history and a lot of likes. They seemed to be pretty reputable within the community here. I figured if those companies were good enough for them, they were good enough for me.

Ironically, the two companies I chose to do business with are the two most recent here mired in some kind of endotoxin/purity/failure to deliver sold products scandal....

Does anybody else find it odd that there is an entire section here for reviewing vendors and nobody uses it? That could be the most valuable tool for people looking to choose a vendor and it's a black hole of silence.

I found the same thing about the lack of reviews on this platform, heading into the discos and telegram is often a wild Wild West hell hole 🤣

However the old finance saying “past performance does not guarantee future results” so I’m not surprised people air on the side of caution when posting.

I plan to get kits and test myself whilst learning a bit more about group buying/testing for future. Still a whole lot cheaper than pharma
 
I read here. I go to the discords and telegrams, and see how many members are there. A lot of members is usually a good sign although I'm aware that lots of those are bots and scammers, but if there's regularly good conversation going on, I will then use the contact information posted here to reach out to the vendors as needed. But for me really it all starts and ends here

60% of my supply has come from GB from TG. I'm addicted.
