Procurement Best Practices

Key principles for successful peptide procurement:

  • Start Small: Test new suppliers with small orders before committing to larger purchases
  • Verify Before Buying: Complete due diligence on unfamiliar suppliers before payment
  • Document Everything: Keep records of orders, communications, and quality assessments
  • Diversify Sources: Maintain relationships with multiple verified suppliers
  • Plan Ahead: International shipping can take weeks - order before you need products
  • Protect Payment: Use payment methods with buyer protection when possible
STRATEGIC APPROACH: Procurement decisions should balance quality, cost, reliability, and risk. The lowest price is rarely the best value when factoring in quality variance and delivery risk.
