I used Skye once and it was lightning fast shipping. Like it was sent out right away after ordering. I also emailed them a few times with questions (it was my first research purchase) and they answered quick and very helpful.I have several months of research experience with Tz and I'm currently experimenting with their T30 and can confidently say it's highly effective and spot on (probably heavy dosed which may be a bad thing for some). I did change to another option only due to the cost savings of a CN vendor without adding much more risk. The fancy labels are nice though and I would use them again without question if I needed something with practicially next day delivery and a polished presentation.
Source experiences; Skye or Tydes?

I just ordered from Skye; I'll let you know how it goes. I previously used elite and then research purposes only.com and they both were mostly ineffective.

May I ask which CN vendor you use now? I'm having a hard time affording the 300-400 at a time most require for the bulk ordering. TIA!

Never even heard of those vendors.

I have. Would definitely recommend they do some testing.
Skye is a single vial vendor. Expensive, but good rep. Before I went CN I used them with no problems. Just very expensive, like a compound pharmacy. Probably not a bad interim step for people who want to leave compound but aren't ready to make the leap to the wild west vendors from CN.
Of interest is that Eli Lilly just filed 3 lawsuits, including against a research peptide provider called Pivotal Peptides. I've never heard of them, but it is definitely a shot across the bow of all of the domestic research peptide resellers. CN may be the only option for people in the near future.

I’ll be the naysayer. I ordered from Tydes last week and still haven’t received my order. According to them, they dropped it at a different post office than they usually use because it was on their way to where they were going. Lol. My package hasn’t moved in 4 days, and it had bac water in it. If’s being “held for exception” due to a weather delay. What weather? Charlotte wasn’t hit by Helene and none of the areas within 400 miles of me have been hit by so much as a rainstorm within the last 2 weeks. I just had another package delivered today that came from NY and went through Charlotte no problem. The issue I think is that it got routed to some podunk office and is now sitting there until… idk when.
It was my first time ordering from them, and even though they’ve been responsive throughout this whole fiasco, there’s no way I’d ever do business with them again. They don’t take credit card like Skye, so if my package never arrives, I’m just SOL and trusting that they’ll honor the amount I’ve paid them by sending out another one.
Having a package worth several hundred $$$ lost in the wind because it was on their way to the next errand stop doesn’t seem like the best way to run a business. Especially not with the prices they charge. I was thinking about ordering from Skye, but naturally, I’ve been put off US vendors by this experience. My package from CN has cleared customs and will likely be here before the one from Tydes for 1/5 the price lol.

Tydes takes credit cards, I just purchased from them last week, it's on the way via USPS.
And you can't really blame them for USPS issues. Weather issues anywhere in the country could impact the route it's taking to you.

They do 10-packs now, a sort of kit but still pretty pricey. Just a larger discount than a smaller number of vials.

For clarity, I wasn't referring to Skye but "elite and then research purposes only.com."

The handwritten notes are also a nice touch.

Glad to hear yours is moving! Mine doesn't have far to go, but it seems to be taking awhile to make the short trip. Just did a double check. They don't take credit cards in the same way Skye does. It's loaded into an account that then serves as an e-gift certificate of sorts.
I definitely don't blame them for USPS issues, but I do think it was irresponsible to go somewhere different for personal convenience at the expense of a paying customer. Everyone who has used USPS knows that different offices can vary wildly lol, especially down here in the south. Go with what you know.

It’s hard to compare others against Skye for a number of reasons, the least of which is ease of purchase to speed of shipping. I really love them.

I prefer Tide personally, it cleans better than the other brands

Do you mean Tydes? Different than (Can)Tide.
And what does “cleans better” mean? Filtering?

I will say that I just ordered from Skye on Monday and I was happy with the price. I know it's higher than Chinese vendors but I am working on getting from a lower priced source eventually. I ordered Monday and it's already shipped and due to arrive on Thursday.
