AminoVault stock check: what they carry and what's new

Comparing AminoVault (aminovault.com) against a couple of other shops I'm weighing. Public listings show 11 products, a US location, and COA documentation — though only one verification I can find online.

What I want nailed down before ordering: do all 11 products have batch-specific COAs available before purchase, and are those from an accredited third-party lab? Can that single COA verification be expanded to show which product and batch was tested, and whether every current batch lines up with the posted documents?

What's the typical US shipping origin and turnaround, and are cold-chain or packaging controls documented for temperature-sensitive items?

I asked them last week. They sent a batch-specific COA for the one item I wanted, but not the whole catalog. Lab was third-party, though accreditation details were vague.

Thanks. That matches my own log: they replied fast, attached one COA, and said other batches get posted when restocked. Still waiting on catalog-wide clarity.

Directory verification is one star, not a full audit.

I keep a spreadsheet. For me, shipping to the Midwest took four days, plain box, tracking updated. No issues, but I ordered only once.

That's useful. Did your COA include a batch number that matched the vial label? Mine did, which surprised me in a good way.

I emailed them about expanding the single verification. They said they'd add batch lookup if enough folks ask. So ask, I guess.

New here. Eleven products feels small enough to list each COA in a table. Why make buyers hunt? That's my main hang-up.

I'm more cautious. Until every current batch has a public, searchable COA from a named lab, I'll wait and just read these logs.

Small update: US shipping quote was $8 flat, 2-5 days. COA request form asked for product and batch, so maybe they're halfway there.

The thing I’d want before ordering isn’t just a COA—it’s batch traceability. Does the cert list the same lot number printed on the vial, and is it a finished-vial test vs. a raw-powder test?

I’ve seen shops post a clean HPLC/LC-MS sheet that turns out to be from an earlier batch or a different fill. If someone has ordered recently, can they confirm the COA lot matches the vial? That’s the only way my little tracking spreadsheet is worth anything.

The accreditation piece is what I’d pin down. “Accredited” means nothing unless it’s ISO/IEC 17025 and the lab’s scope actually covers the assay/test listed.

I keep a column for that; so far only 2 of 7 shops I’ve checked had scope PDFs matching their COA methods. Ask them for the lab’s 17025 certificate number, not just the COA. If they dodge that, I’d treat the 11 products as functionally uncertified for my spreadsheet.

I've been maintaining for a while and mainly track protein, water, sleep. The piece I'd ask them is lot rotation: does the product page show the current lot number before checkout, and does that number actually update when they restock?

I got burned once by a shop that kept the same COA posted while shipping a different lot. Also curious whether their COAs include a retest/expiry date, not just a test date.

If both of those are clear, that's more useful to me than the accreditation logo.

One thing I’d add to the comparison: I log order date → ship date → delivery and cost per item. An $8 flat rate only wins if they actually
