🛡️ How to Stay Safe — Buyer Protection Guide
Counterfeit sellers, copycat websites and fake "review" articles target this product space heavily. This guide shows you how to protect yourself at every step. Read it before your first order.
⚠️ The one rule that prevents almost every scam:
There is exactly one official Alluvi store — 🔗 https://alluvipeptideshop.co.uk — and no authorised resellers. Anything else using the Alluvi name is not us.
1️⃣ Verify the Website Before You Buy
- ✅ Check the URL character by character — copycats use variants like "alluvi-uk", "alluviofficial", "alluvishop", "buyalluvi…" and even misspellings like "aluvi"
- ✅ Cross-check contact details against this forum's pinned posts
- ❌ Never trust a site just because it looks professional or has good reviews — fake stores buy and fake both
2️⃣ Don't Trust Random Blog Articles or "Reviews"
We are aware of large numbers of promotional articles about "Alluvi" spread across free blog platforms and article directories. These are not official Alluvi content.
- ❌ An article "reviewing" or "recommending" Alluvi on a random blog is not verification — anyone can publish these in minutes
- ❌ Some of these pages are recycled spam — peptide articles pasted onto pages originally about cooking recipes or driving licences. That alone tells you how trustworthy they are
- ❌ Other websites using the Alluvi name — even ones that look like brand sites — are not affiliated with this store
- ✅ Official information exists in exactly two places: alluvipeptideshop.co.uk and this forum
3️⃣ Never Buy Through Social Media or Messaging Apps
- ❌ We do not sell via Instagram, TikTok, Telegram, WhatsApp or Facebook Marketplace
- 🚩 An extra fee after payment ("insurance", "customs release", "shipping upgrade") is a guaranteed scam pattern — genuine orders never work this way
4️⃣ Check Every Product on Arrival
- 🔒 Inspect the seal before opening. Broken, missing or damaged seal? Do not use the product. Quarantine it, keep all packaging, photograph everything and contact us
- 🏷️ Check the product name and stated contents match your order confirmation
- 🔢 Find the batch/lot number and match it to the Certificate of Analysis published on the product page
- 📄 A COA only applies to the exact product and batch named on it — never accept a document for a different batch

5️⃣ Pay Safely
- ✅ Use only the payment methods shown at our official checkout
6️⃣ Protect Your Information
- 🔐 Never post your order number, address or payment details publicly on this forum
- 🔐 Verified Customer badge requests go by email only: [email protected]
- 🔐 We will never ask for your password, full card number or one-time codes — anyone who does is a scammer
7️⃣ Remember What These Products Are
All products are supplied exclusively for laboratory and analytical research. They are not medicines and not for human or veterinary use. Any site marketing "Alluvi" products for weight loss, personal injection or treatment is — by definition — not us and not legitimate. That claim alone is a scam indicator.
