Highlights from this day

tenpence — support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 19:41
tenpence — follow up i would order from QSC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, take that with a pinch of salt 19:46
apob_over_ldl — is WXT the manufacturer or a reseller 20:09
u100_pat — i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 20:38
still_here_2024 — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate 20:59

apob_over_ldl 19:59

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

how long does support usually take to answer

u100_pat 20:02

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

quoted lead time was 2 days, real one was 16. is that typical

still_here_2024 20:55

three orders no issues

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

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

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
