Just trying to lighten up this thread a bit....
I was on the PHF forum years ago, and I purchased Clomid and Nolva from one of their board sponsors for RC's, and both were bunk. I made a post on the companies thread. Didnt say anything like "your entire company is bull****! Never buying from you again" or anything like that, I basically just said what the OP did...And damn, I got SO much hate! When I tried to explain my post, I was immediately banned. All I said was 'what you sent me was either extremely underdosed, or the wrong research chemical'...which was putting it mildly. Everyone and his mother told me that they've bought dozens of times from the company and that its ALWAYS been top notch, so **** you for posting and questioning them!!!
Pretty sure what they sent me was just colored vodka. So how dare I question their quality.
Always keep in mind that "3rd party Labs" can easily be faked...anyone with basic photoshop skills can whip some up. Also, most of the RC sites what offer 3rd party labs look like they were made with Microsoft Word!!! Kinda sad, really. They just say "Clomiphene---99.8%", tested by a company that has no website or physical address! I asked Mike Arnold about how to read and figure out the lab results that are sent with each purchase,
"There isn't "supposed" to be a "purity percentage" written on the test...because a typed number isn't proof of anything. Simply having a number on the report representing a "purity percentage" does nothing to prove legitimacy. I could've altered the document before I sent it to you and put a nice little line on the report that read "Purity Percentage: 99.7%", but what would that prove? Nothing...because numbers aren't proof of anything. Numbers mean nothing because they are easily fabricated by even the most computer illiterate individuals. I chose not to add the purity percentage number to the report because that's not how I received it. I gave you what the lab gave me. I don't remember exactly what the purity percentage was according to the lab, but I know it was 99% or over...or else we wouldn't have sold it, as 99% is our cut-off point for raws.
The graph IS the PROOF of purity...not a number. I don't give mass spec/HPLC reports to my customers because I think they all know how to read mass spec reports. Rather, I offer it as a form of "proof" that the product is what it says it is. It may be easy to add a purity percentage number onto a report, but it's NOT easy...at all...to make a fake MASS SPEC graph, especially an accurate one. Most people don't have the know-how or the knowledge to do that...because it would require the necessary computer software and the ability to read mass spec reports.
If I was putting out fake reports it would be like putting nails in my own coffin...because there are plenty of people in our community who can read them...and if mine weren't correct I would eventually get called out on it...and it would destroy my credibility. Why take that risk when I don't have to? It would be stupid."
...sorry, went on a bit of a rant there...just saying, mistakes can be made, not everything in life is 100%. If someone had a bad experience with so-and-so's company, no need to be rude. Someone mentioned earlier that there hasn't been one bad review...well...now we have one.
