If it's carried off perfectly, it can work.

However, one slip, like answering an email about what dose to use, and that's enough evidence it's being sold for human use, and "Introducing new drug into interstate commerce" charges can (and have been) brought. Usually a warning letter is enough to get them shut down.

Peptide Science has been pulling this off successfully for years. They don't sell BAC, Ask them any questions about how to use one of their peptides, and you're banned for life, order cancelled, no refund.

Through these methods they've been able to operate as a completely "legit" business openly, taking credit cards for a very long time.

Keep in mind, any chemical that's not a controlled substance can be bought and possessed legally, It's only when "intended" for human use does it become a pharmaceutical. Sigma Aldrich and all the other lab supply companies will sell you any active ingredient chem that's not controlled.

They actually won’t, Because I have tried to purchase uncontrolled substances from them and they called me and then canceled my order when I didn’t have several licenses they asked for.

They have a field that specifies which chems require a license. Sigma Aldritch and Medchem Express won't sell AAS (they do stock them), or scheduled drug precursors (there are a lot of those, thousands) without a DEA license, for instance, but I've bought minoxidil and numerous peptide APIs without issue. I always use a business name so that may make a difference too.
