Is this vendor legit? The checklist we run before listing any lab

Question

"Is [vendor] legit?" is probably the single most-asked question in every peptide community, usually right after someone finds a price that looks too good. Rather than answer it one vendor at a time, here's the exact vetting checklist we use — run any lab through it yourself.

Our vetting checklist — run any lab through it:

1. Published, batch-specific COAs from a named third-party lab (see the COA-verification thread for how to check them). "99% purity guaranteed" text with no documents = no.
2. Verifiable testing lab — Janoshik, Kovera, an ISO 17025-accredited lab, etc. A COA from a lab with no web presence is worse than none.
3. Real contact + policies — reship/refund policy, a responsive support address, and consistent branding. Scam shops are usually weeks old with stock photos.
4. Track record — community references going back months, not just fresh Telegram hype. Reverse-image-search their product photos.
5. Sane prices — dramatically below-market pricing with no COAs is the classic exit-scam setup.
6. Payment reality check — crypto-only + no history is a red-flag combo; established labs usually offer several options.

Every vendor listed on peptidepub.com/vendors has already been through this (with testing scores from their actual COAs), and we delist on failures. If a lab isn't listed, it doesn't mean it's a scam — but run the checklist before sending money, and if you've been burned, post the details here so others don't repeat it.
