"You don't have x? Why??? It's available online..."
*
Today's real-life example & warning: Hylands used to make a homeopathic remedy for poison ivy. They discontinued it - no longer make it, no leftover stock, not selling it anywhere. This is straight from the manufacturer TODAY.
*
Someone is selling a fake version online, but the price is ridiculous, like $80 for what should be maybe $25 max. It looks legit (except for that price) but isn't. Who knows whats really in it?
*
A similar problem with Terry Naturally products. Pirates are making really good fakes and selling them for about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the real supplements. Terry Naturally is getting calls & complaints about adverse incidents. People demanding a refund for product that aren't theirs. They are working to get the fakes off the market but they pop right back up.
*
Both of these are exactly why you are better off buying local. I buy straight from the manufacturer or straight from known & reputable distributors who have close partnerships with the manufacturers. I can tell you who made a product & where. Also- Most online sellers have warehouses that aren't temperature-controlled, which does no good for most supplements.

Quality assured- buy local!
