Seems to be a scam or has anybody delt successfully with these people?

Did you ever get your money back from them or even any responses to your e mails on orders?

Thanks

United Nuclear is one of the best companies out there. However, since they are a remarkably reliable and nifty company, they get a lot of orders from all over the U.S.- you probably don't know that they have between 1.5 and 2.5 employees (Bob Lazar, his wife Joy who has another job, and occasionally a young intern), so the company can be hard to get a response out of.
Call in the given hours on the given days and you should get someone- email is not very efficient.

They are genuine and good people, but like iamthewaffler said they are a small company and can get bogged down from time to time.

Also, if you want more than small amounts of several kinds of stuff they have, it would be a good idea to look elsewhere- for example, buying oxidizers in quantities more than a few ounces, or fuse- you'd be much better off with Skylighter or eBay.

However, stuff like uranium metal, thorium metal (for the month they were selling it! too late if you didn't pick some up…), beryllium spheres, lead sheet for radiation shielding… they got you covered.
