minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

Highlights from this day
- batch_bandit — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with MKM, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 11:39
- VialBot — Assay note: GL Biochem lot F-1330 reported at 97.4% of label content. 12:25
- per_mg_pete — price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything 13:15
- vialkeeper — i would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, still working it out 13:54
- thirty_one_g — genuine question a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house 18:24
slightly off topic but quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
first order from WXT, anything i should know
ask who makes it
thats the synthesis house
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
they slipped
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with MKM, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
they improved
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
Assay note: GL Biochem lot F-1330 reported at 97.4% of label content.

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
*Medutest not the other one
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

ask for a cold pack
not by dm
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

order before new year

anyone compared TFC and SGN on the same compound
i would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, still working it out
coming back after 17 months, who has changed for the better
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
do the arithmetic
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
anyone had fill consistency problems with JEEP
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
update from 20 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
GL Biochem has been consistent for me across 2 orders which is what i actually want
weigh the vials
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
