A major overseas supplier on another board said they been rejecting most of raws coming out of china. Not gonna name who but they are but they are licensed to purchase raw materials from china and everything they testing not meeting standards required to produce product. I mean if they cant get good product i have no clue how the UGL guys are and they aint testing what they get. So who knows. I stockpiled everything i need for next two years in november before the china ban and and thus the unexpected pandemic. And not gonna mention whose gear i have stockpiled but jano tested his batches and all were good to go. im just happy i dont need any gear in this current environment.
So with that said testing is more critical than ever. And if i was buying anything right now id be spending extra to get it tested. we are lucky to have jano. take advantage of it. Send your gear to him. know what you are taking. ugl's are hungry for profits. 30% of world unemployed. things cant be good for them and once you making bank and then cash flow gets crushed i dont want to imagine what corners are being cut to be more profitable on less demand. I certainly havent seen anyones prices go up. which i find odd. and im not saying the ugl guys are doing that. but this isnt some regulated legit market. and when times are bad good people get hungry too. better to be safe than sorry. just my .02 cents
