In your experience, who is the least reliable supplier for organic intermediates and libraries?

In my mind, an unreliable supplier:

  • Waits until well after I place my order before telling me an item is out of stock.
  • Will only tell me a price after a phone call.
  • Is late in delivery.
  • Is difficult to communicate with and get answers from.
  • Doesn't take purity seriously.

Rules: One supplier per answer, please. Feel free to submit multiple answers. If someone has already posted the supplier you were thinking of, please upvote their answer and comment, but don't re-post it. In your answer, please state what the supplier has done to qualify as 'unreliable'. If you don't agree that the supplier described in an answer is unreliable, downvote it and comment.

Although many suppliers might be considered 'unreliable', the most useful answers will be those that other are likely to have heard of, but maybe not dealt with yet.

The winning answer will be chosen from the most upvoted answer two months from now.

Have fun!

I would like to warn everybody about UK Green Scientific. Not only did they not deliver our orders, we had to involve debt collectors to get our money back.

Shanghai Worldbest Co., Ltd - I don't think they even are a real company.

Is this them? worldbest.sh.cn – Rich Apodaca Mar 25 at 5:07
Yes. That is the one. It appears that the website has not been updated for many years so who knows - maybe the company does not exist anymore and someone is just using it's name. If someone had better experience, please share it. Our review: molport.com/buy-chemicals/customer-reviews/… – Imants Mar 25 at 8:18
