vial_ledger 19:55

unrelated but the packaging from QYB was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

coming back after 19 months, who has changed for the better

💀2⚠️2

thats the synthesis house

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, for what its worth

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

bea_reconstitutes 20:10

anyone compared QSC and BCH on the same compound

bea_reconstitutes 20:19

they slipped

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

third_shift 20:24

ask for a cold pack

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

paperwork is worth it

bea_reconstitutes 20:28

do the arithmetic

❤️1💀4

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

order before new year

bea_reconstitutes 20:45

per mg including shipping

peak_splitlab20:47

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

bea_reconstitutes 20:50

update from 4 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

peak_splitlab20:53

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

weigh the vials

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

bea_reconstitutes 20:58

whats the minimum order like at WXT

peak_splitlab21:13

ok so whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

swab_dry_first 21:17

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

swab_dry_first 21:37

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

update on the earlier thing a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
