Six orders from the same supplier over eight months, every one independently tested, and the consistency is the part worth reporting rather than any single result.

Posting the whole record, including the parts that do not flatter my decision.

Red flags, in rough order of how much they should worry you: no verifiable address, no batch numbers, prices far under market, vendor-commissioned tests only, pressure toward irreversible payment, and shipping with no temperature control.

A caveat about community reputation: it is a lagging indicator. Reports arrive weeks after orders, so a supplier can look excellent for a month after quality has already changed.

The narrow version of the question is what a vetting checklist should actually contain, as opposed to a list of things that are easy to fake. If the honest answer is that nobody knows, that is a useful answer and I would rather have it.

PurityPaulOR has the substance of this right. The condition it depends on is worth stating. The pattern that distinguishes a bad batch from an exit is behaviour rather than product. A bad batch comes with communication, a reshipment offer and a batch number. An exit comes with slower replies, pressure toward less reversible payment methods, sudden discounting, and the same reassurance repeated without any new information. The product tells you less than the correspondence does.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

I disagree that testing history is decisive. It tells you what a supplier did when they were being watched. Continuity of behaviour under stress — a late shipment, a failed test, a complaint — is more predictive than any run of good results.

Answering the narrow version, because the broad one does not have a single answer. The useful checklist is about verifiability rather than presentation. Independent test results commissioned by buyers rather than by the seller, consistency across multiple batches over time rather than one flattering report, a physical address and a company registration that resolve, batch and lot numbers on the actual labelling, and a shipping practice that matches what the material needs. Everything a good-looking website provides is cheap to fake; none of the items above are.

Same pattern here, and in the same order. Posting only so the count is not one.
