Supplier responsive to inquiries but concerning quality control trends warrant downgrade and enhanced monitoring.

Suppliers Under Active Review

AmericanPeptide Co. UNDER REVIEW Review Initiated: November 30, 2025

MONITORING REASON:

Recent change in business operations detected. Company website underwent significant redesign coinciding with change in listed business address (moved from California to Florida). Customer service contact information changed. Several long-term customers report difficulty reaching previous support contacts. No negative product reports yet, but operational changes trigger standard review protocol. Currently rated 7.4/10 pending investigation completion. Expected review completion: December 20, 2025.

SynthPeptide Labs UNDER REVIEW Review Initiated: November 15, 2025

MONITORING REASON:

Community reports flagged inconsistent shipping times (range 3-21 days for domestic orders, previously consistent 4-6 days). Two customers reported receiving incorrect products (ordered Ipamorelin, received Sermorelin - both orders corrected with reshipment). Supplier claims temporary fulfillment center relocation caused disruptions. Quality of products received remains high (verified through testing), but operational inconsistency warrants monitoring. Currently rated 7.1/10. Expected review completion: December 18, 2025.

Nexus Research Compounds UNDER REVIEW Review Initiated: December 1, 2025

MONITORING REASON:

Sudden increase in promotional activity and aggressive marketing tactics observed (unusual for established supplier). Offering discounts up to 40% off regular prices with limited time pressure sales. Website added countdown timers and "limited stock" warnings. While not inherently problematic, this represents significant behavioral change from previous conservative approach. No product quality issues reported. Investigating whether financial pressure or ownership changes driving new strategy. Currently rated 7.6/10. Expected review completion: December 22, 2025.

New Suppliers Added to Database

BioSync Research NEWLY LISTED Added: December 5, 2025

Initial Rating: 7.3/10 (Provisional - Limited History)

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY: New supplier launched October 2025, recently gained sufficient market presence for evaluation. Based in United Kingdom with EU distribution capabilities. Completed initial verification showing legitimate business registration, responsive customer service, professional website with detailed product information. Early customer reviews positive (23 tracked orders, 91% satisfaction). Independent lab test of Semaglutide sample confirmed 97.8% purity. Transparent about testing protocols and storage conditions. Limited operational history prevents higher rating. Monitoring closely through initial 90-day provisional period.

Pacific Research Solutions NEWLY LISTED Added: November 22, 2025

Initial Rating: 6.8/10 (Provisional - Limited History)

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY: Australian-based supplier entering international market. Established domestic reputation (verified through Australian research community contacts). Professional operations with clear documentation and transparent business practices. Completed verification protocol showing legitimate business credentials. Limited international shipping history (only 45 days of tracked data). Product testing of initial samples positive (IGF-1 LR3 tested at 98.2% purity). Shipping times longer than competitors due to geographic location (average 9-12 days international). Communication excellent but timezone differences may affect real-time support. Provisional rating reflects limited track record, not quality concerns.

Quantum Peptide Research NEWLY LISTED Added: November 10, 2025

Initial Rating: 7.5/10 (Provisional - Limited History)

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY: Canadian supplier with impressive initial showing. Strong verification credentials including business registration, laboratory certifications, and transparent ownership structure. Implemented third-party testing from launch (partnered with established Canadian laboratory). First 60 days of operation showed consistent performance: 89 tracked orders, 94% satisfaction rate, average delivery 5.3 days. Multiple independent product tests all exceeded 97% purity thresholds. Professional communication and comprehensive product documentation. Higher provisional rating reflects strong initial performance, but sustained excellence over longer period required for top-tier status.

Removed Suppliers - Warnings & Scams

⚠ CRITICAL ALERT: Active Scam Operations Identified

The following suppliers have been permanently removed from our database following confirmed fraudulent activity. DO NOT ORDER from these sources.

ElitePeptides.net REMOVED - SCAM Removed: December 4, 2025

SCAM CONFIRMATION: Multiple confirmed non-delivery complaints (23 verified cases totaling over $8,700). Website remains active accepting payments but no products shipped since early November. Customer service completely unresponsive to emails, phone disconnected. Payment processing through cryptocurrency only (red flag). Website contains stolen product images and copied descriptions from legitimate suppliers. Domain registration shows history of similar scam operations under different names. AVOID COMPLETELY. Evidence submitted to relevant authorities. Website hosted on offshore servers making shutdown difficult.

USA Research Peptides REMOVED - SCAM Removed: November 27, 2025

SCAM CONFIRMATION: Operated for approximately 6 weeks before disappearing. Accepted 34 confirmed orders (estimated $12,000+ total) before website went offline. Initial orders fulfilled with low-quality or potentially counterfeit products (lab testing showed <60% purity on samples that were received). Later orders never shipped. Company claimed "temporary technical issues" then ceased all communication. Business registration revealed as fraudulent (fake address, unregistered business name). Payment processor cooperation led to partial refunds for some customers. Website now defunct but may reappear under new name - watch for similar patterns.

GlobalPeptide-Source.com REMOVED - FRAUD Removed: November 12, 2025

SCAM CONFIRMATION: Sophisticated operation using stolen identity of legitimate overseas supplier. Website clone of actual European company with slightly modified domain name. Accepted payments through wire transfer and cryptocurrency. Shipped some orders initially (possibly to build reputation) but products contained unknown substances (lab analysis could not identify compounds). Later shipments contained only bacteriostatic water or empty vials. Estimated 40+ victims, total losses exceeding $15,000. Original legitimate company issued public statement warning of impersonation. DANGEROUS - products contained unidentified substances. Investigation ongoing with international cooperation.

Warning Letters & Formal Notices

DirectPeptide Supply WARNING ISSUED Warning Date: November 29, 2025

WARNING REASON: Supplier making unverified therapeutic claims on website and marketing materials. Product pages contain language suggesting medical benefits and treatment applications, violating research-only positioning requirements. Multiple customers reported receiving promotional emails with health claims. Formal notice sent requiring removal of all therapeutic language within 14 days. Supplier acknowledged receipt and began website modifications. Product quality not in question (currently rated 7.8/10), but compliance issues serious. Monitoring for full correction implementation. Failure to comply will result in rating downgrade and possible removal.

COMPLIANCE DEADLINE: December 13, 2025

CoreBio Research WARNING ISSUED Warning Date: November 18, 2025

WARNING REASON: Incomplete product documentation and lack of batch tracking information. Customers receiving products without lot numbers or manufacturing dates on labels. Certificate of Analysis (CoA) provided only upon specific request rather than proactively. Storage condition information absent from documentation. This represents decline from previous standards (supplier previously provided comprehensive documentation). Formal warning issued requiring return to full documentation protocols. Supplier responded positively, implementing corrective measures. Monitoring to ensure sustained compliance.

CORRECTIVE ACTION VERIFICATION: Ongoing through December 2025

Precision Peptide Labs WARNING RESOLVED Resolution Confirmed: December 1, 2025

RESOLUTION SUMMARY: Previous warning (issued September 2025) regarding inconsistent shipping times and poor communication has been successfully resolved. Supplier implemented comprehensive operational improvements: hired additional customer service staff (response time now averages 8 hours vs. previous 3-5 days), upgraded shipping logistics partner (delivery times now consistent 4-6 days), implemented automated tracking notifications. Customer satisfaction scores improved from 76% to 93%. 90-day monitoring period completed with excellent performance. Warning status lifted. Current rating maintained at 8.4/10 reflecting successful remediation.

Policy Changes Affecting Ratings

NEW POLICY EFFECTIVE: December 1, 2025

Enhanced Third-Party Testing Requirements

To achieve ratings above 8.5/10, suppliers must now provide third-party laboratory testing results for all product batches. Internal testing remains acceptable for lower ratings, but top-tier status requires independent verification. This policy change reflects evolving community standards and increased availability of accessible testing services.

Affected Suppliers: 7 suppliers currently in 8.6-9.2 rating range under review for compliance
Grace Period: 90 days (through February 28, 2026) for suppliers to implement testing protocols
Impact: Expected temporary rating adjustments as suppliers transition to new standards
Benefit: Increased confidence in top-rated supplier product quality

POLICY UPDATE: November 15, 2025

Shipping Time Standards Adjusted for International Suppliers

Previous shipping time standards developed primarily around US domestic suppliers. International suppliers faced unfair rating penalties due to customs processing and longer transport times beyond their control. New policy creates separate evaluation criteria for international shipping, focusing on consistency and communication rather than absolute speed.

Affected Suppliers: 12 international suppliers reviewed under new criteria
Rating Adjustments: 5 suppliers upgraded (average +0.4 points), 7 ratings unchanged
New Metrics: Communication quality, tracking accuracy, customs documentation weighted more heavily
Timeline Standards: International suppliers evaluated on shipment within 48 hours vs. total delivery time

POLICY CLARIFICATION: November 1, 2025

Customer Service Response Time Measurement Standardization

Inconsistent methodology previously applied for measuring customer service responsiveness. New standardized approach: response times measured in business hours only, excluding weekends and major holidays. Automated acknowledgment emails not counted as responses (substantive reply required). Measurement based on 30-day rolling average rather than individual incidents.

Affected Suppliers: All suppliers re-evaluated under standardized methodology
Rating Impact: Minimal changes (adjustments within ±0.3 points for 8 suppliers)
Transparency Improvement: Response time metrics now clearly defined in supplier profiles
Industry Benefit: Creates fair competitive standard for customer service evaluation

UPCOMING POLICY CHANGE: Effective January 15, 2026

Mandatory Secure Payment Processing Requirements

To improve buyer protection and reduce fraud risk, suppliers will be required to offer at least one secure payment method with buyer protection features (credit card processing, PayPal, or equivalent). Cryptocurrency-only suppliers will face rating caps unless they can demonstrate exceptional security and recourse mechanisms.

Potentially Affected Suppliers: 9 suppliers currently offering limited payment options
Rating Impact: Suppliers offering only cryptocurrency may be capped at 7.5/10 maximum
Implementation Period: 60-day advance notice provided for compliance
Rationale: Recent scam operations highlighted risk of payment methods without recourse options

Intelligence Gathering Methodology

DATA SOURCES: Supplier status updates compiled from multiple intelligence streams including direct customer feedback submissions, community forum monitoring, third-party laboratory test results, business registration verification, website monitoring for changes, payment processor status checks, shipping carrier performance data, and supplier direct communication. All significant changes verified through multiple independent sources before publication.

UPDATE FREQUENCY: This intelligence log updated bi-weekly with major changes. Emergency updates issued immediately for critical situations (confirmed scams, safety issues, sudden supplier closures). All suppliers undergo quarterly comprehensive review regardless of interim update status. Rating changes require minimum 30-day observation period except in cases of confirmed fraud or safety violations.

VERIFICATION STANDARDS: Downgrade decisions require minimum three independent data points. Upgrade decisions require sustained positive performance over minimum 60-day period. Scam confirmations require either direct evidence of fraud or minimum five independent victim reports with documented evidence. All rating changes subject to secondary review before publication.

COMMUNITY REPORTING: User-submitted reports critical to intelligence gathering. All submissions reviewed and investigated. Anonymous reporting accepted but verified reports from identified sources weighted more heavily. Community members encouraged to submit evidence including order confirmations, lab test results, communication screenshots, and detailed timeline documentation.
