How sketchy is it? I'm not that interested in India personally but thought I'd open that up to debate too as I'm sure there are a few who are interested in buying from there. Has anyone dealt with vendors from these countries?
China's vendors are known for their RCs and India's for their pharms but are they reliable? Do they sell quality, genuine products? What is their stealth like? How long should we expect deliveries to take and what else should we expect from them?
If it's a case by case situation then who is and isn't worth using?
I have experience ordering from China, I dealt with numerous vendors at first, All of them would tell me the same thing, They were the only legit supplier everyone else was gonna fuck me over and laugh at me. I was using lookchem.com for sourcing. With these suppliers I used the Carrot method to keep them motivated to send me high quality chemicals. I would always ask for quotes on multiple amounts up to 100 kilos etc, Stating I needed a large amount but would need to run sample orders of smaller amounts to make sure quality was consistent over time. I received high quality chemicals that were tested and had 99+% purity. I rarely received the same visual consistency. they would range in look greatly, for example one substance ranged from the consistency of salt one order and the next would resemble powdered sugar. The consistency change was because all these people were resellers and going to different sources.
I eventually went about finding a more direct method to get past the resellers. Once past them I dealt with one company that produced high quality chems at very reasonable prices. I wrote about this else where in this sub. This was the kind of connection that you could set up a serious operation if you wanted. They were very serious about long term sales and wanted to help in any way possible.
My biggest problems with the resellers were their stealth and shipping methods. they world often ship commercial express or overnight with nothing more than the mylar sealed bag wrapped over and over with bubble wrap. they would declare the contents to random things. clothes, computer parts, whatever. it was very suspicious I was surprised I received anything but customs must be very overworked because they got through. I did have some interceptions by Customs but nothing major. I had a system to retest international shipping to addresses after they were hot/seized.
I no longer do any of this got out some time ago but I am sure all methods still apply..
