Highlights from this day
  • halifax_hplc — invoice mismatches happen. check the total against what you actually sent, not against what you meant to send 18:57
  • subq_sy — the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume 19:02
  • gall_bladder_gav — paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it 21:33

i keep every transaction reference in a note with the order. it has been useful twice

HH

on a small order the fee can be a meaningful fraction. on a large one the discount wins easily

*Medutest not the other one

HH

do the fee maths

do not send a test payment to prove anything to anyone. that is a pattern, not a precaution

i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

PP

a stablecoin while the order is pending removes one variable you do not need, thats just me

*PeptideMeter not the other one

i triple check the address and i have still had a moment of pure panic every single time

nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this

i have had a payment confirm and the order not update for two days. it resolved with one polite message

UD

there are no chargebacks here. that is the trade you are making and it should be a conscious one

work out the network fee before you take the ten percent discount. sometimes it eats it

the room holds no money, brokers nothing, and runs no escrow. that has never moved, i have it written down somewhere

no chargebacks

check the first four and the last four characters of the address. every single time, no exceptions

stablecoin while pending

check the total
