Labboy review
My organic set (24/40) package came fast, like under a week. Unfortunately, half if it was broken and craked. I contacted them, and they agreed upon
a 50% refund. I have a few items which I actually fixed w/ metal epoxy, like my sep funnel.
One other thing I didn't like about Labboy, is their hollow ground glass stoppers. I am used to solid only.

i have hollow stoppers. they don't really bother me.
I would like to mention that they will also make custom glassware. i got two 29/32->29/42 and two 29/42->29/32 adapters for 25$ each.
it didn't take long to make and they are good quality!

Sounds like crap if they are half broken
Custom glassware you say? Maybe they can construct a ketene lamp!

When it isn't broken( or stressed as my coiled reflux condenser was, one feather light tap and the coil cracked like a plumbers backside) Laboy glass
isn't bad, not nearly as many bubbled laced seams as my Corning 19/22 set and so far it has held up well for me. on a semi related note: beware of
their main site: it keeps changing and half of their stock isn't listed on the page but they still have the wide range: just email them. Beware of the
main sites pricing as well: it used to be 35% off from their eBay page but it keeps randomly swapping from Ebay to old site pricing.

I have a few pieces of laboy. Their glass seems to be of decent quality, and I checked all the pieces I received with an improvised polariscope.
Hardly any stress at all. An old pyrex measuring cup lit up with a field of rainbows when checked in the same manner.

Any of you have to deal with customs for your orders with Laboy? seems Chicago has my order and given China's bad habits I haven't a clue what to
expect.
