Several months ago, I remember noticing that a company called GalliumSource was willing to ship me a fair quantity of sodium via legal means for a
good price, and they don't seem to be around any more. Does anyone know what happened to them?

This has been raised before recently.

They seem to have gone under. It's unfortunate. I see a lot of other sodium I could buy, but it's either outrageously priced or likely to be shipped
using methods of questionable ethics.

I got my Na from Onyxmet

Tom and Anna give great service and the prices are reasonable.
Shipping has not been a hassle in any orders I have done thus far.

I consider them reputable... their prices are not as good as GalliumSource's but aren't bad... I'm guessing they'll actually ship it legally too.
While I'm not fond of the idea of customs looking through my chemical purchases, Onyxmet does look like a good source for sodium, and they have other
things I want....

They actually are good. I have ordered materials several times from them. They are not a source for typical bulk chemicals, but for small quantities
of rare chemicals they are the best place I know. Nice for element collectors too.

I'm going to place a small order and see how it goes.

Great. Onyxmet is down. I haven't ordered anything... does this happen a lot?

Nah, sounds like their service provider has been hacked.

It looks like they have been having severe problems with hackers lately in Poland. Banks got hacked using malware distributed by a regulatory
authority's server....

Yay! Onyxmet is back up again.
