You're in the middle of Chinese New Years celebrations so vendors are a little hard to find right now. I'd stick with one of the larger, more frequently used vendors, such as SRY, ASC, SSA, Amo, or SNP. You'll hear good and bad stuff about all of them. The odds are that if you use any one of them, you'll be happy with the results. With that said, with the exception of a few, extremely expensive US vendors, there is always a decent change you'll get scammed. I just paid for an order through QSC a few weeks ago; QSC has now disappeared. Go to the vendor page in the forums for the contact information of vendors. I would trust the larger vendors I mentioned (other than QSC) more than I'd trust a referral from a friend. Consider having what you purchase tested. Buying a single vial from Skye Peptides is not a bad idea; the vial will be greatly overpriced but will arrive quickly and will contain what it says. That gives you time to research this area thoroughly. I know this sounds like a pain, but you are ordering from the grey market where things are sketchy. Sales of peptides (as opposed to purchases in the US, which are legal) are neither completely legal nor illegal. You should be willing to pay the price of having to spend a fair amount of time here or another forum learning about how to buy in order to protect your health and your wallet.
