Feel like I should for some reason speak on this thread, as I organized a large group test and worked with Peptide Test pretty extensively like 3-4 months ago.
My experience with him was he was willing to work in many ways to get exactly what we wanted and handled a lot of BS for relatively small premiums over the course of a few months. He admitted mistakes and tried to make sure everyone's questions and issues were taken care of.
In regards to the email:
This was a stupid move by someone at the company, crap happens, and in regards to privacy of testing peptides, there isn't anything illegal or suspicious about testing peptides themselves. Obviously there is some customer sensitivity that gets messed up, but no personal information about what was ordered/testing/purchasing details was shared. Seems like one of the smaller F'ups from companies that have occurred in the last year (still an F up though). I feel like
LARGE public companies are doing more egregious actions in the last 6 months than ANY of the peptide gray market companies have done in the last year, but they have lobbying firms and what not, so you just have to "deal with it"
In regards to the other stuff being said here:
I am one of the biggest "companies should pay their fair share and not gouge customers", but for profit companies exist to MAKE PROFIT.
If we are going to say Peptide Test has exploitative pricing because of a deal he made with TP which he was quite open about, then Janoshik is also price gouging? Their prices are the same after all pretty much. I also felt a bit better when himself and Janoshik talked about testing stuff on the discord we joined for testing, made me realize these guys are more friendly competition rather than dueling assholes like some competing industries become.
And with filters, some are acting like he's selling damn insulin at 1000X the pricing and their are NO alternatives. If you saw a market that you could earn like $0.50 (this is a complete guess) per filter on through holding inventory and reselling through an exclusivity contract you sure as hell would do it, that's just good predictive market research in my opinion. Also
@noteablequotable if the ones you got off AliExpress were good, we should get them tested and get them to start marketing to this community with testing! More competition = lower prices for all and healthier markets. Maybe tell some of our vendors to reach out and offer some supplies like they do with BAC water...
Want more domestic testing options? Start reaching out to other testing shops and getting them to push that extra mile to bring value to this community. That's basically the best way to build acceptance.
This is gonna sound like a shill post, so I'm prepared for that response, but I could bring many popular billionaires who are openly doing some way worse crap than any of these companies, yet our community just pins these groups to the wall. If a company makes a mistake and it does not impact people financially or health-wise, an apology is sufficient with remedial analysis. If a company financially hurts a customer, publicly shame them and get the appropriate financial remedial outcome, but don't act like these companies have to "be better" than the garbage chute of normal companies out there.
