05Frequently asked questions
Can I buy without an account?
Most storefronts allow guest checkout. A few require an account, usually to attach a research-use attestation to the order record.
Do any of these suppliers ship internationally?
Some do, with duties quoted separately or left to the buyer. Confirm who is responsible for customs before ordering, because that is where international orders fail.
Is a marketplace safer than a direct storefront?
It is safer for disputes and weaker for documentation. Choose based on which of those two you need more.
How do I know a shop is not a reseller?
Ask for the dispatch address and compare it with the return address on the parcel. Resellers ship from a fulfilment partner, which is fine as long as it is disclosed.
What should I avoid entirely?
Sellers who will not state a dispatch country, listings with recycled photography, and any channel where the only contact is a messaging app.
