Batch numbers for all intents and purposes are pretty meaningless unless the vendor is relying on them as part of a guarantee for mass and purity.

I never updated this, but there were different colored caps and a 2digit number on top of each box. It corresponded with a batch number they have COAs for. She refers to the batches by their last two digits. (GYC)desinr-gal said:
I have 2 kits from AL now and am very happy.
I ordered from them on like Wednesday night last week. Had my shipping label twenty minutes later, and my klow came on Friday. The person I talked to said (politely) that they won't be taking orders going forward via email, and to contact them via telegram instead in the future.
I wish they had a discord or something, because the lack of recent or longer term customers talking to each other makes me a little wary.
I can't speak to the quality of the klow, it looked about like what I would expect it to look, but I guess I'll know more when my filtering stuff and pen stuff comes and I can practice reconstituting it and then trying it out. I went with them because they take Venmo, nobody said they sold crap, and when I went through all their reddit reviews, some did look like they might be shills BUT well over half of the commenters had a post history of talking about things other than how great AL is. So we'll see!

They have an active Telegram group that you will be invited to after a couple orders. I have made 4 -- Reta, GLOW, KPV, BAC. I have yet to run into an unsatisfied person who has dealt with them. I am happy. I suggest joining the telegram. Be a little patient, as it will take a couple orders or a biggie to get the invite.randompersonrandom said:
I get it.... ships domestically but 200 for a tirz 30 kit I'll go ssa us warehouse for 135
You’re not wrong at all. But you do get extra third party testing and payment options that aren’t crypto. Those things are worth the extra$ for some. Saying that though I did more recently go SSA for some stuff.Airborne Daddy said:
I ordered a few days ago, the response was quick, label created, package on its way. I will update.
I have ordered from AL, great communication and fast shipping. The prices may be a little higher, especially coming from the US warehouse, but I liked the ability to use Venmo.
I've ordered twice from AL and both times were accurate and fast. Be careful about the scammers posing as AL though - always verify the handle/username
I used AL for my Tirz30 and have reconstituted 2 vials. So far so good. I also used them because payment could be made with Venmo, they had a USA warehouse and reports were good for fast delivery. Even though the price was higher it was sure cheaper than the $500 a month I was paying for compound Tirz.
I am curious about your statement. Did you mean batch numbers are meaningless and to always do independent testing or that even if group testing or individual testing is done it’s a crap shoot and determine your own level of risk. ThanksZippityDooDah said:
It means what I said.Maryheartline0803@ said:
If a vendor guarantees that "Batch # 12345" will test a minimum (for example) of 99.0% purity and -5%/+10% of advertised mass, and tests (whether individual or group funded) come back at 98% purity and/or -8% mass, and they honor that guarantee with either refund or replacement, then the batch number might mean something. Otherwise it means that the roll of labels that were printed up with that batch number haven't run out yet.
Appreciate the clarification and education. Thank youZippityDooDah said:
I've been looking at Amino Lair and I know companies have changed names in the past. Did it used to be Amino Fitness? I ask because on the COA for one of my interests, it has that company's name on it instead of Amino Lair. They're also using several different companies for testing, is that normal?
They are one in the same. I love them.HZM808 said:

The mix of names and the mix of testing companys also gave me pause.geoguy78 said:
@JujuJ above they're one in the same (sorry couldn't quote)
but I haven't been able to find anything else to that effect...I'd welcome the help, tho.
For me, at least right now, reviews, while typically mixed, are just too mixed to go forward but I'll try to keep my eyes open. I'm also quite new so maybe more gun-shy than some.
The order I received from AL had a return label of amino fitness. My vials of T30 so far are good.HZM808 said:
I know this may come as a shock to some people, but it's really not unusual for a business to operate under a different name from whatever their legally registered corporate name with the state and IRS might be.
It doesn't mean anything nefarious is going on, just that for whatever reason their d/b/a name is different. Sometimes it may be only slightly different; like how Walmart is really Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and other times there's zero similarity; like how Google is really Alphabet, Inc. or Facebook is really Meta Platforms, Inc.
Often it could be something as simple as what domain names are available. There have actually been a few peptide vendors whose domain names have been frozen or cancelled causing them to re-brand under a different DBA while keeping the same corporate name. It could also be an issue with being able to access various business and banking services. It's probably easier to deal with banks when your name is "Kenobi Scientific" instead of "Kenobi's Peptides". I can pretty much guarantee you that 90% or better of peptide sellers are not actually operating under their legal registered entity name.
Anyway, this is how the world works. If this is something that impacts your shopping choices, that seems a little excessive; I mean you could always just ASK whatever company you're dealing with what the reason is behind the name variation instead of speculating on the interweb.
