I'm trying to level up my lab work this year and start sourcing legit research chemicals, but wow, it's turning out to be a bit of a minefield. Feels like there are a million sketchy vendors and I have no idea who’s actually reputable. My budget isn’t unlimited, but cutting corners sounds risky for what I need. If anyone’s had experience with suppliers who deliver consistent quality and won't ghost you after ordering, I could really use some advice. Maybe someone knows what red flags to watch for, or even has a couple solid vendor recommendations you trust?
