One thing which worked for me recently was how a local newly set up lab had had tests done on stuff they were sent. This was compared to other similar products produced locally who they will be in direct competition. Let's say they did better from the test than the other product.
It's worth saying again re roid supply. What's important is:
1) Product. Nothing else matters if the product doesn't work or is poorly dosed, mislabelled etc
2) Sterility, choice of oils (the less allergic types), in date product
3) Speed of supply. Buyers will pay (oh yes they will) a small premium if you get it to them when they wanna buy. Otherwise they can go elsewhere. Both seller sand buyer benefit on this. It takes seconds to update online stock levels, put out of stock notices up etc. If I ran such a business I'd be reordering, resupplying the moment stock hit a certain level.
4) Communication. As in 24 hours max (unless notified differently)
5) Safety of buyers info
6) Ease of payment.
It's the nature of business for fans and workers of one company to dispute the quality of others. Human nature too
7) Replacing lost, damaged etc product. Again it's preferable to pay a small premium over a cheaper but not replaced product

I like this.. Spot on bro
"bog standard members," Mobster?
I posted a comment in another thread wherein I explained that a non-vip, approved source member who doesn't have a vested interested is preferred. But, as I say, it's the system we have. If I think of a better one I'll let the bosses know.
I agree...
The worst is a forum that lets any source be a "sponsor" just by paying a monthly fee. We see what happens when there are too many sources on a single forum. Much better this way.
Although it isn't terribly original, I have an idea...
Up until a very few years ago, there was a commercial-free website entitled "Steroid World" which charged its members a yearly fee; some of the money from which was used to purchase steroids, test them, and then post the results along with reviews of the various source's customer service.
So perhaps the owners could set up something similar to that here at Evo.
So, do any of you have any thoughts relative to such a forum - one in which paid members would have access to information gleaned from the in-house testing of gear (see above)?
Seriously, none of you would like to see the creation of a sub-forum that would allow paid members to have access to lab results of several sources on a regular basis; results that would be paid for via the money paid by paid members?
Hell, I'd gladly pay $100 per year for such a service. But I guess that's just me.

Did you read that, mods'? I would gladly pay $100 per year for such a service. And I cannot possibly be the only person who would be so willing.
Food for thought....

I as well would pay a fee to have access to independent testing of multiple sources of gear. I struggle to see how to make an independent body to manage the money and procurement of gear. The gear would need to be sources without the lab knowing if the "consortium" and it's objective. Its a great concept for sure. As of right now, source reviews are always suspect to me from any forum. But I have had good luck with my gear so far. But a paid fee forum would give some piece of mind.

Stimy's onboard. Anyone else?
Yes, it probably would be rather involved process. But it's been done elsewhere and it could be done here. Evo's owners and/or moderators could manage the money with which they would purchase gear, have it tested, and even devote a certain amount of it towards site maintenance (the purchasing of additional bandwidth and the like).
I don't imagine that such testing is performed, for that would cost a lot of money - money that this site's owner or owners don't likely have. But that is precisely the issue that a paid-members-only forum would serve to address. We would pay the money, and they would pay for the tests with that money. Their continuing silence vis-a-vis this issue is baffling.
Actually, it is a suggestion rather than an issue. And it is, I think, a damned good suggestion. If not, I would like to be told the reason why it is not a damned good suggestion.
Indeed it would be money well-spent, stimy. I mean, I spend roughly $10k per year on juice, ancillaries, supplements, blood tests, etc.
So, yes, spending an additional $100 per year on Evo's, uh, futuristic members-only-juice-testing forum would definitely be money well-spent.
Any comments, mods?
Testing is actually pretty affordable.
You can use a home steroid testing kit like roid test. Granted, that won't tell you if the product is properly dosed or not but it will at least tell you if the steroid listed on the label is actually in the product.
That + blood work can give you a pretty good estimate on whether or not the source is producing quality products or not.
