Clear labeling
Names, quantities, batch identifiers, and RUO/not-for-human-consumption language should be visible and consistent.
Documentation
COAs should be batch-aware where possible and should not be treated as decoration or vague marketing.
Policies
Shipping, returns, privacy, contact, and terms should be clear before any transaction occurs.
Questions to ask before trusting a supplier
- Does the site clearly state RUO boundaries?
- Are labels and documentation consistent with the product listing?
- Are contact, shipping, refund, privacy, and terms pages visible?
- Does the site avoid medical claims and personal-use promises?
- Are product names, batch details, and policies easy to understand?
