You may need a certification to order from SNP/Nexaph

Apparently, you might need something called RAI certification to order. You have to pay or course to get that certificate. Cain has posted an announcement about it, attached below. I think for me, that p partially answers why his prices are so high : payment processors for risky businesses don't come cheap.

Thanks for this.

Google isn’t helpful and keeps popping up with AI related topics and certs. Clearly it’s a clearinghouse of some kind. Does it have a parent company? Where can I learn more?
 
Lol it's 49 dollars 2x a year and you have to provide a lot of personal info including a selfie and this "cert" is supposed to register you as a researcher attesting to the fact that you aren't ordering to use it on yourself or other humans.

And for the merchants, the cost is 999 a year. Supposedly certified researchers buying from certified merchants is enough to satisfy the CC processors.

If this works, we might see more vendors opt to pay to become certified so that they can also go back to using cc processors.

For now, you can skip the certification on nex and continue checkout.

I’ll probably just skip it though, after this order I’ll have six years of tirz and five years of reta. Actually more than five years, after finding Uther R50 for 245 I just had to snag it and find out if Uther is as good as people say.

I think it’s time to stop stocking up 🙂. Even though it’s fun…

I have some Uther R50 -- it's good.

It's more about consistency with good vendors like Uther rather than efficacy per se.

Like Uther doesn't have the intra-batch fill variability that Nexaph has sometimes.

FYI, apparently you don't need to register for a certificate if you purchase using crypto. Wild guess that at least 60% of his volume is from credit cards and the likes, so ditching his payment processor is not an option for him.
 
I ordered a kit yesterday because China is shutting down for New Years, and I didn't have to register. I just had to attest that it wasn't for hooo-man consumption and that I read the T&C's. I used a card also.
Edit:typo

At least for now, it’s free if you register through nexa.

But for me one of the big benefits of nx is that it’s so easy. The more difficult he makes it, the less attractive it becomes relative to other options.

For now it’s not required but it is not at all obvious that it’s not required when you go through the checkout process. You have to scroll down to “choose an alternate verification method.”
 
I'll still be getting from Nexa for now, but yeah, don't want to jump through too many hoops. And as someone who works in data privacy, I don't plan to give my ID to a third party company just to get my peps when I can actually get them elsewhere once I get off my bum and figure out crypto.
That said, I also need to be sure everything I get is from a US warehouse as I can't risk getting my global entry pulled with any kind of customs faff.
Finally, I do still really appreciate Nexa's model of testing. It's just nice to have documented vendor and group testing for each batch.
 
Once again, all roads point to crypto, so this might be a good time to get familiar with it. He also has explicitly said that paying with crypto doesn't require that certification.
 
I cant find anything about this Research Academy Institute. Seems like they just popped out of the blue. I cant imagine credit card processors using something new without any sort of credibility. Is this like an alternative to legitscript?

They did. I've seen documents showing their creation on January of this year as an LLC. I don't think it's an alternative to anything

Wait a minute. Youre telling me that a major high risk credit card processor is forcing its client to use a random credentialing agency that just started in January? Something doesnt add up.
 
Thankfully they're not actually requiring it yet. You can still bypass - for now. But it may also be because this particular institute can legally register an individual's credentials with a minimum of requirements. I'd think if we were left to get accreditation on our own to provide proof before purchase, it could be pretty hard to use established institutes who want actual research projects or reporting to be submitted. It's a tough call at the moment.

I encourage you to buy your peptides the old fashioned way : from a Chinese vendor that uses crypto.

I'm not a "researcher " anyway, so I'm clearly not the target customer for that newfangled certificate.
