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

CO

paying in two parts is sometimes offered and it does not reduce your risk, it splits it

CN

the discount pattern is roughly ten percent almost everywhere and it is a real saving at volume

TT

invoice says $72 and my total came out different, whos wrong

PP

PP

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

ok so is a bank transfer ever an option and is it a bad idea
i wait for the confirmations the supplier states and then one more before i chase anything

PP

anyone had a payment arrive and the order not update

check first and last four

option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg

if you are asked to pay a second time because the first "did not clear", stop and post it in the scam channel

NP

nobody can verify an address belongs to who you think it does. that is the actual problem with all of this, n of 1 obviously

a bank transfer leaves a paper trail and no recourse. people should know both halves of that, ask me again in a month

NP

thats gone sorry

option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg

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