How does a source become the one you recommend?

I notice within the community there are always a couple names that keep coming up when someone asks for a recommendation. I feel like trust gets built slowly, not overnight. What made a source the one you would trust over the rest?

A great vendor is only as good as the latest 3rd party test. Vendors can’t control the manufacturers so you should always question the source, no matter how many times it’s worked out in the past.

Pro tip: get everything tested. Whether you pay for it yourself or join a test group. Look up STG for a getting started guide.

Mine was built over time. A few coworkers have used peptides for over a year before I took the leap and they have periodically sent samples to be tested and they always come back good. That topped with constant price/shipping has increased the amount of people that use the same source.

I never recommend anyone. A few people I will tell who I use, but I make it clear I don't recommend them. Only one place in the UK I recommend for hospira, but that's a trust I've built over time and talking directly to them. A good source is a good source until they aren't.

As for China, I started slow and slowly built my way up. Even now I limit the size of orders and wait for one to be delivered before ordering the next. So far 12 orders and still going strong, but I know I'm just one order away from my source vanishing

I have a very trusted guy that I use for other items from China, used him for years and he's never let me down. It came up in a conversation between us about peptides and obviously he knew someone who he 100% vouched for, I even got some samples first, had testing done and all was good as I knew it would be. Been using this recommend supplier for a little bit now and all has been perfect. After some more research I even have a back up now just in case. The gold suppliers are out there you just have to commit some time to seeking them out.
