OK with all the shit going on and new labs popping up. I thought I'd do a post.
There are some things we are trying to change with Evo to try and help mitigate the the shit going on.
1. Please stick to well known vendors.
The long time vendors are the safest bet for members. They have heaps of loyal customers and you can trust the quality of gear.
2. Try and keep orders small.
Keeping orders small is your best bet. This isn't ebay or Amazon. These labs can have issues even the reputable ones. Some big labs got busted not that long ago it happens.
Nothing worst then paying a few thousand dollars for an order to have the lab get busted and be out of pocket.
Supply chains for raws and pharma goods can also be an issue.
3. Try not to preorder goods.
We have heaps of vendors if one is out of something check with another chances are someone will have what you need or post up a thread asking. Someone will point you in the right direction.
4. Trust you gut.
If something seems fishy don't do it haha simple enough or post in the thread asking if anyone has tests. Most of our trusted vendors have people using their gear for logs etc. Loggers should be able to test you about their results, bloods etc.
If in doubt reach out to the vendor or a logger running the gear for the vendor even some of the more active members here have spoken with vendors etc and we have a pretty good idea of if a lab is good to go.
I haven't posted up which labs are trusted as there's this thread Thread '- EVO approved vendors https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/threads/top-trusted-aussie-vendors-2025-q4.107247/
Until we can get a pinned thread to post up there's no point in combining the two.
Thanks for listening to my Ted Talk

big things coming BIG things!!!
bump, for those asking about it before
It’s good to have new and upcoming vendors and they help keep the market healthy and competitive that’s for sure - BUT if you are new to the forums or the game please try one of our top trusted vendors first, they all have proven track records and loggers, and when in doubt start with a small minimum order.
