Any recommended vendors in the Ukraine?

RadicallyStabilized - 19-2-2023 at 00:16

Hey guys, as the EU has basically dropped import tariffs on Ukrainian goods and the Ukraine has a large chemical industry apparently, it occurred to me to contact some vendors from there about some common feedstock materials.

Does anyone have a recommendation for reliable vendors that ship EU-wide in sub-kg quantities for reasonable prices?

Thanks, RS

I ordered some stuff from ebay seller reagent007 in Ukraine before the war started.
He got lots of chemicals and stuff, 100% positive feedback.

Thank you. No items currently listed but I contacted him.

The ukrainian chemical industry is declining because in the conditions of the war storage of the production has potential risk of ecological catastrophe in the case when it is exploded as a result of shelling.
As a citizen of Ukraine I also have interest to help ukrainian vendors or at least to do what I am able to do.
Drop me a message if you have some particular interest, may be my knowledge of manufactures and current situation could be helpful to you.

I'll contact Leonid, based in Kiev and ask him what he can still offer.
I was about to anyway just to know how he was doing one year into the war.

I also bought from Reagent007. Only positive experiences. One time they sent me the wrong chemical, asked for a picture and sent me a replacement in no time. Their bags for powders are amazingly strong.

Looks like they have some interesting alloys. I have been meaning to get my hands (gloved hands) on some wood's metal for some time. I think I might place an order. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. The content of the shop depends on the IP address I'm requesting from...

Maybe they don’t want to ship to certain countries because of different regulations.

Many ebay sellers do this. It happens a lot when you have an Australian IP, which strikes me as weird as I feel like we have pretty unrestricted import rules.

So, using a VPN where you can choose your coutry/nationality can be a usable thing.
Maybe a lot more intresting items can be found and one can always ask the seller if he can ship to your country.

I too can vouch for reagent007 and his ability to ship, both before and during the war.

Amazing. I get the same reduced result when I visit his store, but when I follow your link all the stuff shows up.

He has Sodium Sulfide! Wonderful. I've been looking for a responsible way to dispose of mercury waste, there we have it. Mix with mercury-containing water and the metal precipitates as black mercury sulphide, which can be poured out in the garden basically.

I guess it's time to support the war-ridden comrades through means of commerce!
