Highlights from this day
- still_here_2024 — quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 17:08
- still_here_2024 — update on the earlier thing WXT has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want, still working it out 17:34
- per_mg_pete — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg.… 18:26
ask for a cold pack
update from 7 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
ask who makes it

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
order before new year
ok so i would order from QYB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, your mileage will differ
update on the earlier thing WXT has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want, still working it out
anyone compared TFC and QST on the same compound
[edited]better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, i think
while im here anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
follow up nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, ask me again in a month

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with CPC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
