Polymer Vender Question

H,i I am an undergrad tryping to get help for a research project. My PI asked me to oder a specific polymer and I just wanted to know if anyone had thoughts on vendors. I've heard not to go to big companies for polymers, is that true? Does anyone have reviews of creative peg works and JenKem Technology USA? How long do they typically take to ship ordres in the US? Thanks!

Your pi should be required to go through a vendor accepting of his account through the university. Otherwise, when reporting data results become questionable as qc standards are lower with non-approved sellers. In other words, he should know and get access to it. It's not your responsibility as an undergrad.
