— 01 · What you sell —

One offer, three lanes.

Wholesale cases are the business. Dropship is how brands without infrastructure get in. Payments and storefronts are how you win the account before anyone talks price. One price book, no packages.

Lane 02 · Wholesale vials

Cases of 10

From $60 / case of 10 vials
Tested vials in bulk, our label, shipped to the buyer's business for resale. This is where the volume and the reorders live.
  • Case of 10 vials · per-vial equivalent from $6.00
  • Starts at 5 kits and $1,500 — a kit is one case of 10, mixed across any compounds. One book: your price is the same on the first kit as the five hundredth
  • Certificates + lot tracking, on file
  • Domestic: same-day dispatch from LA [2PM PT] · Worldwide: ships from Hong Kong, 7–10 days, reshipped if a package is stuck
  • Freight at cost, confirmed at order review
Lane 01 · White label

White-label · we fulfill

Per vial + $5 fulfillment · all-in from $16.25
Their brand on our tested product, zero inventory on their side. We print their labels, hold the stock, pack, and ship every order from our LA warehouse. Per-vial it costs more than a case — that's what zero ops costs.
  • Priced per vial + flat $5/vial fulfillment — quote the all-in number
  • We print matte waterproof labels with their branding
  • Connects to their WooCommerce store — orders flow to us
  • No stock, no packing, no shipping on their side
Rides every lane · Payments

A payment path built for this category

Most peptide businesses die at the processor, not the product. We introduce buyers to our processing partner — the application goes to a nominated bank that underwrites this category, not a generic gateway queue — and hand over the compliance discipline that keeps accounts alive. Never promise an approval, never speak for the bank.
Lane 03 · The marketing house

Build or fix their RUO store

WordPress + WooCommerce — brand, catalog loaded, claims written to survive scrutiny, checkout wired into fulfillment. Quoted per build. A buyer with a weak site is a buyer whose payment account is at risk; this lane closes that hole and feeds the other two.

Most accounts end up running more than one lane. Dropship while they build demand; cases once the volume makes the math obvious; pens when a network wants its own hardware. Either way the account lives in the portal and reorders monthly — reorders are the business, not the first sale.

Origin — say it plainly, every time. Nothing we sell is made in the United States. Vials are tested here on five measures, then held, labeled and shipped from Los Angeles — a fulfillment fact, not an origin claim, and the two must never be blurred into one. A buyer who needs US-made has no lane with us.

MAP protects their margin — say it plainly. We hold a minimum advertised price policy on resale [no advertised resale below 2× the wholesale per-vial equivalent]. It means we're not letting their competitors race them to the bottom on the same supply.

— 02 · The dropship lane —

Dropship — no stock needed.

The buyer never touches a vial. We connect to their store, print their labels, and ship every retail order from our Los Angeles warehouse under their brand. They run the audience; we run the back end.

Step 01
Connect the store
We wire into their WooCommerce store. Orders flow to our warehouse automatically — nothing manual on their side.
Step 02
We print the labels
Their branding on matte waterproof vial labels, printed in-house, applied to COA-tested stock we already hold.
Step 03
We pack & ship — LA
Every order packed in bubble wrap, sealed in a chrome bubble polymailer, and shipped from our LA warehouse under their label.
How dropship pricing works

Dropship is priced per vial, and higher than the case rate, plus a flat $5/vial fulfillment fee covering label print, pick, pack, and dispatch. The all-in per-vial number is what you quote — it's in the price book above, per account, in the portal.

Say it straight: "Per vial it costs more than a case — that's the price of holding zero inventory and doing zero ops. Most brands start here, then graduate to wholesale cases as volume grows and their per-unit cost drops."

Toggle the price book above to Dropship for every all-in per-vial number.

Margin math — run it live on calls
All-in cost / vial
Profit / order
Margin

Their customer pays them retail; we bill them the all-in vial price per order shipped. No stock risk, margin on every sale from day one.

White-label onboarding — your process, start to finish
  1. Collect the partner's details — brand name, contact email, shipping address. Send them to ownership; that's all we need to open the account.
  2. We create the account + portal invite — a single-use, 14-day invite link goes to their email. They log in and see their own live price book.
  3. Custom labels — they send brand assets; we print their branding on matte waterproof vial labels in-house and apply them to COA-tested stock we already hold. The RUO wording stays on every label — non-negotiable.
  4. Connect their WooCommerce — requested right in the portal; we wire into their store so every retail order flows to our LA warehouse automatically. Nothing manual on their side.
  5. Billing — the white-label vial cost is the all-in number from the price book [fulfilled vial + $5/vial], billed per vial shipped, and shipping is charged at cost on top. No monthly fees, no minimums.
  6. Ship — packed in bubble wrap, chrome bubble polymailer, dispatched from LA same day [orders in by 2PM PT], tracked, USA-only.

Who this fits: creators and coaches with real audiences, supplement founders who want a peptide line, medispas building a retail brand, e-commerce operators who know their numbers — anyone with demand but no infrastructure. The honest opener is "you never buy inventory". Wholesale comes later, when their volume earns it.

Lead white-label with LA

Our LA fulfillment is the centerpiece of every white-label conversation. Stock held, labels printed, every order packed and shipped from our own Los Angeles warehouse — same-day dispatch on orders in by 2PM PT, under their brand from day one. That's what beats every "we'll dropship it from overseas" offer.

— 03 · The craft —

Sell it — rules, targets, scripts.

The non-negotiables — read twice

✓ Always
  • Sell to businesses, for resale as research material. Every conversation B2B, research-framed.
  • Qualify the buyer as a real brand, reseller, or research-affiliated business — never personal use.
  • Lead with supply, testing, compliance — COA per batch, lot tracking, labeling, fulfillment.
  • Keep language scientific and commercial — SKUs, purity, margin, turnaround.
  • Route human-use questions to your manager.
✗ Never
  • Never claim or imply human use, benefit, or consumption.
  • Never give dosing, administration, or reconstitution-for-use guidance. Analytical specs only.
  • Never make therapeutic claims — no treats, prevents, cures.
  • Never compare our product to an approved drug as a substitute.
  • Never use testimonials or before/after stories.
  • Never pair a molecule name with a human-use, dosing, or benefit claim — the name itself is fine in B2B; the claim is the violation.

The one-sentence test: "Does anything here suggest a person will take this product?" If yes — rewrite. If unsure — manager first. When in doubt, leave it out.

The compliance redirect — memorize it

"I have to stop you there — everything we supply is research-use-only, so I genuinely can't advise on human use, and honestly a supplier who would is a red flag. What I can do is get you the full COA and analytical specs so your team has the data. Fair?"

The COA story — how to use the library

The catalog is third-party tested by Freedom Diagnostics, an independent lab — one consistent issuer, certificates on file. The library lives in the portal; share it before a buyer spends a dollar. Many certificates list BD Labs, our production lab, on the client line — normal supply-chain paperwork, fine to share; the independent issuer is the credibility anchor. Our two deepest certs [GHK-Cu + NL-R15, issued directly to the next lab] also carry endotoxin and microbial PCR — lead with those when a buyer digs deep. Certs are per-lot, not per-vial — offer current-lot certs proactively.

Medispas [Tier 4]: the lane we serve is their retail brand — white-labeled research line under their name, RUO-framed; if the conversation turns to in-clinic use on clients, that is not an RUO sale — qualify hard and route to your manager. Supplement stores [Tier 5]: high-margin category add, one case to start, certificate paperwork on file — merchandising stays research-framed, no human-use signage. International: qualify, capture, hand to your manager — never close solo.

Openers that work — personalize every one

Cold email · Tier 1 [existing brand]

Subject: Better peptide supply for [Brand]

Hi [Name],

I run B2B supply for the next lab — we wholesale RUO research peptides — independent third-party certificates on file, accession-numbered — with fulfillment out of Los Angeles. I came across [Brand] and thought our supply might be a fit.

Most brands come to us for one of three reasons: inconsistent stock on hero SKUs, no third-party testing they can show a customer, or wholesale pricing — from a $1,500 opening order, or per vial with no minimum at all — that finally protects their margin.

Worth a quick look at our catalog and your live pricing in the portal?

Cold DM · Tier 2 [creator — the dropship pitch]

Hey [Name] — love what you've built with [audience]. Quick one: we help creators launch their own research-peptide line without touching the ops. Your brand on tested product — we print the labels, hold the stock, and dropship every order from our LA warehouse. You never buy inventory. If you've ever thought about your own line, I'd love to show you how it works. No pressure either way.

Discovery call · opener + questions

Opener: "Thanks for the time. My goal today is just to understand your business and see if we're a fit — no hard pitch. Walk me through what you're selling now and where supply or fulfillment has been a headache?"

What are you selling today, and who's your customer? · Where are you sourcing now, and what's frustrating? · Do you get a certificate you can match to the lot you received? · Rough monthly volume [or audience size]? · If you could fix one operational thing, what would it be? · Who else is involved in a decision like this?

Objections — tap to open

"Your price is higher than [vendor]."
Cheaper vendors usually skip independent testing — that's the risk that ends brands. We open the certificate with you: named lab, accession number, measured fill. You're buying consistency and a reputation you don't have to gamble.
"I already have a supplier."
Most of our accounts did too. Keep them — but run us as a tested backup on your hero SKUs so you're never out of stock or exposed on quality. Wholesale opens at five kits and $1,500, mixed however you like — and the fulfilled-vial lane has no minimum at all, so a backup account costs you almost nothing to hold.
"How do I know your product is legit?"
That's exactly our pitch. Independent third-party certificates on file — accession-numbered, lot-tracked — and consistent RUO labeling. I'll get you the COA library so you can verify before you spend a dollar.
"Is this legal?"
Everything is research-use-only, labeled and sold as research material — not for human consumption. We hold that line hard, because it's what keeps suppliers like us in business. How you operate your own brand is your call; on our side it's fully RUO.
"I don't want to touch fulfillment or hold stock."
Then don't. That's the dropship lane — your brand on tested product, we print the labels and ship every order from our LA warehouse under your name. You focus on your audience; we run the back end.
"You never buy inventory. We bill you per vial as orders ship."
"What's the minimum order?"
Depends on the lane. Wholesale opens at five kits and $1,500 — a kit is one case of 10 vials, and you mix any compounds to reach both. The fulfilled-vial lane has no minimum — buy one vial, we ship it under your label. Your price never changes with size on either.
"Why is dropship more per vial than wholesale?"
Because it includes everything: the vial, your printed label, storage, pick-pack in bubble wrap and a padded mailer, and dispatch from LA. You're trading a few dollars of unit cost for zero inventory risk and zero ops. When volume justifies it, we move you to cases and your unit cost drops.
"Let me think about it."
Totally fair. What's the one thing you'd need to see to feel confident? Let me get you exactly that — COA library, your live pricing, or a small first order to start.
"Can you ship internationally?"
Possibly — but international is regulated market-by-market, so I'll loop in our team to confirm we can serve your region before we promise anything.
— 04 · The machine —

The portal — how buyers onboard.

The wholesale portal at portal.thenextlab.co is invite-only, and it is the onboarding experience. Know it cold — walking a buyer through it is a close in itself.

01
Request access
Buyer submits company + contact on the request-access page — or you flag them to your manager to create directly.
02
We review & approve
No auto-accept. Manager vets legitimacy, sets that account's pricing, issues a single-use 14-day invite link.
03
They set a password
Invite lands them in the portal. This is your close moment: "you're approved — check your email."
04
Live price book
Their own confidential pricing — never base cost, never another account's. Downloadable as a watermarked PDF.
05
Submit an order
Cart → submit for review. Not an instant charge — every order confirmed before any invoice.
06
Invoice & ship
Numbered invoice, wire/ACH, then it ships from LA. All reorders run from their login.
Your rep tools — all inside the portal
  • Live price book [per-account, watermarked PDF] — your leave-behind.
  • COA library — the proof; share it before they spend a dollar.
  • Terms of sale — RUO obligations, payment, MAP, freight, returns.
  • Fulfillment page for the dropship conversation.
  • Book a call — the scheduling link for discovery and kickoff.
Payment reality — know it cold

We invoice on approval; payment is wire or ACH. New accounts prepay until terms are extended in writing — no cards, no net-30 on day one. Freight on cases confirmed at review. Say it plainly; serious operators respect it.

The whole model runs on reorders. An account that reorders monthly beats any one-time buyer. Your job doesn't end at the close — it starts there. Standing orders are your highest-leverage move.
