Crush Research COA Not Found on Vanguard

[OldGuy]

So I'm looking at Crush Research. They seem to have a bit of a cult following. Everything seems pretty good with them from what I can see, BUT I can't find ANY COAs on https://verifiedbyvanguard.com/ to independently verify the COA's Crush has posted on their website.

Has this been discussed or do any of you have any insight?

why do you look on vanguard? they have ils and freedom coas

[OldGuy]

@mmp That would be a negative.

@OldGuy sometimes it takes a bit for vanguard o update their website portal email them and they will respond

Vanguard only publishes those COAs that are agreed with the customers to publish, otherwise they are hidden. They have to place them manually to that database. You can write to [email protected] and make a request.

[OldGuy]

I know how they work. I'm just surprised that Crush (trying to be THE open and free info vendor) doesn't publish them for independent verification since the tool is there.

@OldGuy I asked Peptidology why aren't they doing the same (they have the same issue). They said it's too much work to do, and they don't have so much resources to process all of it. Maybe some day.

[OldGuy]

I have a client account with them as well for my direct tests. You literally click "publish".

[stevensanto]

@OldGuy me too but they fall behind

@OldGuy this is from Josh from Peptidology:

We are not yet signed up with online verification with Vanguard because we have to individually add and verify hundreds of backlogged COA from years past. It's a manual process and we're very busy serving our customers.

@bobs Yeah i read that from someone else too or maybe it was you.

FWIW, Vanguard is fairly quick in verifying over email. At the very start of my RUO journey, before landing on trustworthy vendors, I got a few Vanguard COAs verified over email. They reply in one business day usually.

@OldGuy But confirm what batch you are going to get. Pre-acquisition, when I tried to confirm shipping batch as they still have some ILS COAs, their customer support dismissed me saying they can't guarantee which batch I will get, pretty much telling me to "go to hell" if I want that confirmation. LOL
