Reagentshop.com review?

An home chemist is pretty limited when it comes to exotic chemical, such as trifluoroacetic acid. I read that in the EU such chemicals are easier to get. I have seen many time this supplier (reagentshop) on ebay or there website and wondered if anyone had a review to make. Altough I have read they are legitimate, I would like a more complete review of the seller.

Thanks

Thats interesting I was just looking at buying some TFA and personally the price reagent shop has on it is 2000x to good to be true they might have other things that might be good but there is no way they can mark there prices down that much compared to other.

I could possibly get some from fisher or sigma are you interested?

Well, it was just an example, but if you can buy chems from fisher or sigma it could be interesting...

South Korean located company that sells several precursors for controlled substances and even chemical weapons, without shipping costs, although plain salty prices, and accepts only paypal with very limited information about the supplier.

I don't usually want to push down but if something sounds too good, it is. Though, the problem for me isn't ordering something, but how to get it past my country's almost legendary customs. For them, everything that's white and in powder form, is considered synthetic heroin nitrate until proven else. :D

Heroin nitrate? Really?

plante1999 - 30-10-2013 at 12:52

It was an analogue of something that is as harmful as a drug and in similar manner in explosive matter. I think the correct analogue according to my country's customs is Cyclosarin-(acetyl[hexanitrate]morphine)-ether, which would certainly rank it into triple-four according to fire diamond. :D

I've purchased from reagent shop before and I was quite satisfied.
They have an interesting manner of labeling some of their more esoteric international shipments though, I once received Hydrazine hydrate labelled as cottonseed oil... And it was most definitely hydrazine. I think they're a bit pricey, but they have some hard to find items.

Hope you don't ever have to deal with anyone one on one. Someone who works there is a first class jerk.

plante1999 - 31-10-2013 at 12:46

I do not understand what you said hyfalcon.

He said that you he hopes you never have to call or email one of their customer care people since the one he talked to is a jerk.
