I bought elora from a vendor I trust, one who supports this site. I had it tested and the result came back at 4mg content, though I was expecting 5mg. Purity is 97%.

I didn't use Jano because their elora testing costs $600, while Freedom charged $225.

What kind of response should I expect from the vendor?

Thanks.

Do nothing.
 
It's definitely worth contacting the vendor about this. My understanding is that several vendors will honor Freedom results, given how many GBs rely on Freedom.

Take this as an example:

APS Quality Guarantee

Purity is over 98%, filling is over 90%(Jano/Freedom/Trust/ILS)

If the test does not meet the above Guarantee, we will reissue it for you free of charge or fefund.

We accept Jano/Freedom/Trust/ILS’s 3P testing.

That said, even GBs — which buy in bulk and should presumably carry more leverage — can struggle to get any remedy for underweight product, even when the vendor has stated guarantees. If your vendor won't recognize Freedom, then based on what I've heard about the Chinese vendors, your best option might be to negotiate credit toward a future order.

At the very least, you could warn them you'll make the results public, though I imagine that could also blow up in your face. Either way, Chinese vendors are in no hurry to sort out anything involving past orders. So as you already seem to realize, "pack your patience."

Looking on the bright side, you did receive elora — unlike selank sold as elora by ERP.

Because Chinese vendors know they might vanish tomorrow, their customer service tends to suffer, but some are better than others, and by and large they've handled lost and seized orders well through their generous reship policies.
 
Uther's Elo looks solid, and it ships with legit COAs. The 10mg kit runs $350, which is steep, but for me it's still the strongest choice I've come across...fingers crossed it becomes more widely available before long...

Uther currently has a run of 10mg vials that came up short (9.3 and 8.6), though from what I understand refunds are being offered for those.
