Ordering chemicals from overseas

jwarr - 23-7-2009 at 13:59

Does anyone here have experience ordering chemicals from overseas? If so, should I be worried about international shipping standards or anything? While nothing I'm ordering is illegal my concern is that some of it is certainly hazardous. Any first hand experience would be much appreciated.

Overseas is relative- and depends entirely on WHERE you attempt to order from, and WHERE you reside.

This forum "Reagents and Apparatus Acquistion" has a large number of threads describing individual experiences when ordering from country x to y, have a look there for starters.

Thank you, I'm embarrassed to have not just UTFSE but I didn't even think this sort of stuff was discussed here.
