First order from Puratek.... hummm.

Like a lot of people here, I place a lot of faith in this site to recommend and vet out the Wild Wild West, aka the Peptide Vendors After placing my order and pressing the go button, I was taken to some weird 3rd party payment processing system, which is not unusual for small companies but I was very surprised that the payment didn't go through 4 times two different credit cards. This company appears to be located in Las Vegas and I am in Seattle so there should be no problems. Finally one of my credit cards send me text message that they detected fraud. I replied yes Meaning it was not fraud and to process the payment. That finally went through. The name that came through on the credit card charge is Wert*ByteNFT. Which is very weird.

But I think I am bothered more by the fact that they added an $8.42 "Route Shipping Protection" without the ability to remove this, which I definitely would have done. That alone, in my book, would turn them from 5- to 4-

One clunky issue: When placing an order on PuraTek’s site, there’s no button or prompt to create an account. After checkout, I went back to track my order and had to make an account—only to find the order isn’t linked to it.

This is a missed opportunity. Without saved shipping, billing, or payment info, every reorder or new purchase feels like starting from zero. A simple account creation option at checkout would make repeat business seamless and encourage loyalty. Instead, it’s just as friction-heavy as buying from any random vendor for the first time. This my first order from them certainly had quite a lot of friction to the point where I almost gave up and ordered from the next one on my list.
