    Bulk Chemicals

    I've been buying from the Formulary for years, but lately I've been shopping around. eBay seems to have some good options with free shipping, which when I but 30 or 40 pounds of 'stuff' at a time adds up.
    Any warnings about eBay? Any other suggestions?
    Thx!

    Artcraftchemicals.com is popular with some. But you can get Formulary products from B&H with free shipping with a modest total spend; i think it's $39.

    I've dealt with both the Formulary and ArtCraft over many years, but find ArtCraft's pricing to usually be cheaper and the chemical quality to be better.

    Ditto. Same two suppliers, unless something exotic is involved. I'd be wary of eBay sources if Indian or Chinese chem is involved, due to potential quality control issues.
