Great Dealers -- Not just Great Deals
I was wondering at the possibility of a place where we could highlight good suppliers and not just good deals. I envisage a sub-forum alongside the Great Deals one. In it we create poll threads on particular suppliers we come across. So a typical thread might be:
Title
ACE Chem supplies
OP
I came across a great supplier: Ace Chems. They supply basic organic chem stocks and solvents. Not much in the way of general inorganic salts. They don't sell glassware but do sell mantles and hotplates. They are located in Timbuktu but have a website, acechemtimbuktu.org, and will ship anywhere in continental Africa free of charge.
I have bought lithium borohydride from them on three occasions. The sales rep, Mbutu was just great and threw some extras into my last order. Shipping is however slow if you live in the US.
Thread
Assorted feedback and experiences both positive and negative and poll results.
I think there would want to be a sticky to give guidelines on the information that should be present in the thread and also some guidelines on giving feedback.
After some time we would have a list, in one place of a reasonable number of recommended suppliers. It would be a great place to visit especially if you were after something new.
