1st.
Just trying to be fair here. Everyone is going crazy about lack of response and respect from PEPs organization, but here is the rep trying to communicate, apologize, and answer some questions (maybe not the ones you want), but he is completely ignored, if everyone has such a good history with this lab why is everyone going to the mattresses so quick? PEPs response was lacking but being flamed from 50 different people can be demotivating i'm sure (no disrespect to members making complaints, i'm just saying...)

You guys probably know better than me but I had a co-worker who used to make gear for our whole unit. Once we were all halfway through a cycle and the gear crashed (i'm talking like 80% of our gear), i remember i kind looked like chex mix crystals floating in the oil. Is it possible this gear just crashed? If so it would have nothing to do with contamination and be just the test falling out of suspension. You guys might be seeing different things than i'm talking about but i wanted to ask because I'm sure members on this board have more knowledge on the subject than I do, i thought i remembered my CO mentioning temperature, i might be wrong (i dont even know what causes gear to crash to be honest). Just my two cents guys, like a few other members mentioned, i don't think PEP tanking is best for us if he has already proven himself. He's not a scammer, and seems like the gear has been high quality in the past (reading posts on this site), wouldn't it be better to work with him to rectify the issues. When people were having shipping problems I wasn't gonna fuck with PEP. I saw alot of vets were advising newer members to be patient because PEP has a reputation of being stand up and making things right, because of the established members advise i took the leap and ended up getting my gear in less than 48 hours. I was really glad the members on the board spoke up for a source that I didn't have experience with, and found their advice was on point. I thank this board for that because i wouldnt have trusted that advice from anywhere else (w/ mods editing threads). Maybe the issue was approached in a manner that wasn't exactly helpful (not blaming members that have issues) when PEP got dragged through the meat grinder in a matter of hours. Maybe PEP should have done a better job of answering questions, but fuck he's human, at the same time this is business, and emotions shouldn't be playing a part in conflict resolution (even if you are being attacked). Just wondering if actively trying to disparage a proven source because you feel disrespected by his lack of response is what is best for us as a community. Also calls for pictures of his lab are kind of ludicrous. I don't think anybody would post pictures of their illegal controlled substance manufacturing lab that's crazy and i think its kind of an unrealistic request, I also don't think that PEP not posting incriminating pics of his underground lab is proof of complacency of quality. I think that there might be alot of ego involved at this point because people feel either disrespected (members) or gratuitously attacked (PEP). I agree with everyone that PEP needs us more than we need him, but maybe our posts should be more conducive to finding a solution, unless we've past the point of nor return in our business relationship with this source, but I don't think that has happened, and I think maybe the source deserves a chance to make it right. PEP i suggest in your next post you address the aspects of the issues that need addressing, if you know your lab is clean don't even bother with the "toilet bowl" and "bathtub" comments, nobody believes that shit man, I think some members just want a better response from you, not one that entertains the flaming, but one geared towards a resolution and the restoration of confidence. Sorry post is so long, I love this fucking board and how most of the members really look out for each other. No disrespect intended to ANYONE from this post. I love all y'all
peace
