Every seller says they test. Some say they test up to 8 times. These four questions show what a test is worth. Ask them before your next order.
A Bonded Lot record answers all four. The labs are drawn at random. The record is for one lot, tied to the code on your packing slip. Results reach Bonded Lot before anyone else. Every result is published, whatever it says.
A lab the seller didn't pick measured this lot. The number is public.

Hi, I’ve got a quick question before my next order. Who picked the lab that tested what you sell, and how can I know it was the lot you shipped me? I’d like to see a Bonded Lot record: labs you don’t pick measure the lot, and the result is published as measured. Would you look into it? bondedlot.org/for-sellers
Tested? Prove it.
1 Who picked the lab?
2 Which lot did they test? The one you’re shipping me?
3 Who saw the result first?
4 What happened to the results that came back badly?

That doesn’t mean anything is wrong. A seller can test carefully and still have no way to show it that you can check. A record is that way. Ask them to look at Bonded Lot.
Tell Bonded Lot where you buy
That’s the only thing asked: no email, no name. What you send stays private. It’s never published, never shown to another seller, and no numbers are ever posted. Bonded Lot may tell that seller that buyers have asked for a record, but never who.
