How We Rate Steroid Sources

Transparent methodology. Data-backed verdicts. No shortcuts.

We get this question a lot: “How do you decide which sources are legit and which are scams?”

The answer is simple — we follow the data. Every source review on Steroids.Reviews is based on a standardized methodology that prioritizes real user experiences, bloodwork confirmation, and long-term consistency over hype or paid promotions.

We do not accept payment, free products, or any form of compensation from sources. Ever. Our only allegiance is to our readers.

The 6 Rating Factors

Every source is scored across six categories. Each factor is weighted based on importance to the average user.

Weight: 30%

💊 Product Quality

User-reported potency, PIP (post-injection pain), visible results, and bloodwork confirmation. A source with multiple bloodwork reports showing elevated testosterone levels scores significantly higher.

✅ Bloodwork available ✅ No PIP reported ⚠️ Underdosing reports
Weight: 20%

📦 Shipping & Delivery

Average delivery time, tracking reliability, and consistency. Sources with domestic warehouses score higher. We also track whether packages arrive within claimed timeframes.

✅ Under 10 days average ✅ Tracking provided ⚠️ Inconsistent delivery
Weight: 15%

🛡️ Stealth Packaging

Customs success rate, discretion, and packaging quality. Sources that consistently pass customs and use innovative stealth methods (like scented sachets) score highest.

✅ High customs success ✅ Discreet packaging ⚠️ Seizure reports
Weight: 15%

💬 Customer Support

Response time, professionalism, problem resolution, and live chat availability. Sources that fix issues quickly (reships, wrong products) score higher.

✅ Under 24hr response ✅ Live chat available ⚠️ Slow responses
Weight: 10%

🔄 Reship Policy

Whether the source honors their reship guarantee. We look for documented cases of lost or seized packages being replaced at no cost.

✅ Reship confirmed working ✅ No questions asked ⚠️ Policy untested
Weight: 10%

🚩 Scam / Red Flags

Exit scams, fake reviews, selective scamming patterns, and unresolved complaints. Any confirmed scam activity results in immediate downgrade.

✅ Clean history ⚠️ Exit scam reports ⚠️ Selective scamming

The Review Process (Step by Step)

1

Data Collection

We gather 25-50+ user reports from multiple forums — Reddit, Eroids, Meso-Rx, and other bodybuilding communities. We look for recent feedback (last 3-6 months) and long-term patterns (1-3 years).

2

Bloodwork Verification

When available, we prioritize sources with user-posted bloodwork confirming elevated testosterone levels or IGF-1 scores. Lab results don’t lie.

3

Shipping Analysis

We track reported delivery times, customs success rates, and packaging feedback. Sources with domestic warehouses receive higher scores.

4

Red Flag Detection

We search for scam reports, exit strategies, selective scamming patterns, and unresolved complaints. Any confirmed scam activity triggers immediate investigation.

5

Score Calculation

We apply the weighted scoring model across all six factors. The final score determines the trust label (Highly Trusted, Trusted, Mixed, or Risky).

6

Review Publication & Updates

We publish the review and schedule monthly updates. If significant new feedback appears, we update immediately.

What We Do NOT Consider

  • Paid promotions: We do not accept money for reviews. Never have. Never will.
  • Free product samples: If a source sends us free gear, we do not review it. Conflicts of interest are not allowed.
  • Affiliate commissions: We earn nothing from source referrals. Our reviews are 100% independent.
  • Single positive reviews: One happy customer does not make a source legit. We look for patterns.
  • Source advertising claims: Marketing language means nothing. We trust user feedback, not website copy.

How Often We Update Reviews

We update source reviews on a rolling basis:

  • Monthly: Active sources with consistent feedback
  • Quarterly: Stable sources with no major changes
  • Immediately: When scam reports, exit strategies, or major issues are confirmed

If you notice new feedback about a source we reviewed, contact us so we can investigate and update.

📢 Our Promise to You

Steroids.Reviews is and always will be independent. We do not accept payment, free products, or any form of compensation from sources. Our reviews are based solely on real user experiences and data. If a source is a scam, we say so. If a source is legit, we say that too. No sponsors. No affiliates. Just honest reviews.
