My Elite Research order went fine, one more data point

Elite Research (eliteresearch.com) keeps popping up in public listings as a U.S. vendor with a product catalog, so I went looking. Still can't tell how broad that catalog actually is, or whether the listings carry batch-specific purity or assay data.

Are COAs available before you buy, and do they really name the third-party lab, method, lot number, and date? Also unclear where in the US they ship from, or what handling and transit times look like domestically.

How's it packaged and tracked, and are any destinations or delivery methods off limits? Is pricing tiered by quantity, and do cold-chain, expedited shipping, or documentation run extra? Anyone actually ordered and can fill in the gaps?

Does the COA batch number match the vials, or is it generic? Also what carrier do you use for domestic? Trying to figure out if tracking actually updates.

Every 'Elite' vendor has a pretty site and a COA from a lab nobody can verify. Show a recent third-party test with a verifiable link, then I'll get interested.

I’m just here for the drama and the discount codes. Popcorn ready.

Following. Not buying yet, just watching how they handle the first few order issues.

What’s the minimum for free shipping? The price list looks okay, but if shipping eats the difference I’ll pass.

Do you post COAs per batch or only one example? And are they from an ISO-accredited lab? That’s usually where these threads get quiet.

Anyone actually receive a pack in the last week? Seen too many 'payment received' updates and no touchdown posts.

Watching this thread like a hawk. Also, if the COA is a PDF named 'final_final_v3.pdf', I’m out.

If you’re already compiling data points: does the COA include a raw chromatogram with integration and mass spec, or just a summary purity figure? That’s the tell. I track lot number, vial label, COA date, lab method, and whether reported mass matches expected peptide.

One vendor sent a “COA” with no chromatogram and a lot number that didn’t match the vial—instant no. Also check the lab’s own site for a reprt ID if they list one. Purity percentage alone is marketing.

Same here—my last COA was just a summary page, no raw chromatogram. Watching for a real btch one too.

I’m a notebook-and-ziplock person: I track energy, sleep, and appetite daily, and I jot the lot number next to each week so I can compare later. Sharp follow-up: does the COA list an analysis date plus retest/expiry and storage conditions? I keep seeing purity percentages but never those.

And if someone does get a pack, can they check whether the lot on the vial matches the COA exactly—including any suffix? That’s the kind of little detail I’d love as a data point.

If it’s just a summary page, I need the raw chromatogram before I’d even consider it.
