*PeptideMeter not the other one
update from 9 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
per mg including shipping
sorry to jump in a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, i could be wrong
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

how long does support usually take to answer
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
screenshot the invoice
Recon calculator: 40mg in 1ml = 4mg/ml.
whats the minimum order like at JEEP
genuine question cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
thats the synthesis house
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
the packaging from GGPeps was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
is WWB the manufacturer or a reseller
*Medutest not the other one
my first order from TFC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, someone check my working

quoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 10. is that typical
do the arithmetic
sorry to jump in prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, anyway
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
