Seriously ? I was just about to order some tomorrow ..
Wtf...???
Research companies and cc's are a thing of the past. The few (and I mean "few) remaining research companies that still use them are in the process if transitioning to e-check. they reason is two-fold.
One, they are tired of constantly losing their merchant account and having to start over. Once you get your merchant account closed, you run the risk of being blacklisted. Once that happens you can't get a merchant account anywhere, regardless of what you sell. You could be trying to get an account for Vitamin C and you will be rejected...by everyone. This can happen the very first time one loses a merchant account. So, once you lose your ability to open a merchant account you have to use someone else's name...until they get blacklisted...and then the next person get's blacklisted...and then the next person gets blacklisted...and on it goes until you have no one else who will let you ruin their credit. That is where the remaining research companies that take c's are at. I know one research company that has run through 8 different people at this point and has nowhere else to go. He is in the process of transitioning to e-checks right now.
Even worse, if a research company takes cc's, the FDA will press charges for money laundering, which they have been doing (and winning). You see, anytime someone lies to the bank about what they sell (which is what EVERY single research company must do if they want to take cc's) in order to move money, they are technically committing money laundering.
Research companies and cc's is DONE...forever. There is no coming back from this.
You should be HAPPY you can even still buy quality research chems/peptides without having to go through a UGL...because that is where you will be soon. The days of research companies testing all their stuff and selling only US made products is quickly coming to a close, so rather than saying "WTF?" (as if you have somehow been wronged), you should be grateful you still have the ability to buy these things with something as simple as an e-check or money order. Soon, research companies will be gone and only UGLs will be selling these products...and I can guarantee you that they won't be selling US made chems, let alone lab testing them all. Oh...and you won't be using cc's either.
I realize most consumers have no clue what difficulties research companies face when trying to collect payment for their products, but that is why I am trying to illuminate those who are unaware...as it is not only very difficult and time consuming, but those who do so now run the risk or prison sentences...just so you can use a cc' instead of having to use an e-check. THIS is exactly why most research companies have packed their bags and closed up shop...and of those that are still in business, they no longer want to risk their freedom just so customers don't have to use reliable payments methods like e-checks.
Somehow people started forgetting that these compounds are prescription drugs when sold in capsule/tablet form...and started demanding that they be able to buy any drug they want, whenever they want, with whatever payment method they want. It doesn't work that way...and the current state of the industry is now clear proof of that.
Personally, I am shocked these things can even be sold at all without the Gov. crashing down upon us. They've been very lenient for years, but they are tightening the reigns...and things you used to be able to do in days past are no longer possible (i.e. unlimited payment options), unfortunately.
