#vendor-verification 2025-11-22

what happens to the log entry when a supplier improves

while im here a referral link is disqualifying because it makes the reporter an interested party. that is all

who decides, the mods or the room

New independent result logged — FGP, lot A-2418, purity 97.4% (VendorInvestigate).

thats not evidence

slightly off topic but two labs a point or two apart on one lot is normal. both go in the log with both numbers

log it either way

coming back after 11 months, has the standard changed

pattern not one result

for the archive i have watched this standard hold for three years including when it was inconvenient for a popular supplier, not advice obviously

blinded submissions carry more weight because they remove a variable, not because we distrust the labs, ask me again in a month

does HJ being verified mean my vial is fine

revoked stays in the log

a verified supplier can still ship you a bad vial. verification is about the record, not about your parcel

does a supplier certificate on its own count for anything

how long does a verification stay current before it needs refreshing

genuine question verification has never been for sale and never will be. offers get posted publicly with the sender redacted

thin evidence

what actually counts as evidence for a verification

what does not count: the supplier certificate alone, a screenshot, a referral link, or a friend who says it was fine

how many independent results does a supplier need

do blinded submissions carry more weight than open ones

is there a version of the log i can read chronologically

i have a result but i did not buy the lot myself, does that count

two labs disagree on the same lot, which one goes in the log

blinded is better

the point of the standard is that it applies to suppliers we like as well as ones we do not

both numbers go in

not a recommendation

does a good result from Medutest outweigh a bad one from Janoshik

lot number or nothing

the lot number on the certificate does not match my vial, what now
