Highlights from this day
  • batch_bandit — quoted lead time was 8 days, real one was 24. is that typical 18:18
  • u100_pat — a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 18:33
  • VialBot — Archive lookup: u100_pat first appears in this channel on 2024-06-18. 18:51
  • typosquat_tay — ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot 20:23
  • vial_ledger — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with HJ, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, your mileage will differ update from 15 months ago:… 20:25

*that should say weekly

CH

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

while im here the packaging from HJ was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact, i have it written down somewhere

is GL Biochem the manufacturer or a reseller

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, i think

update from 24 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

update on the earlier thing no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, ill dig out the number

my first order from JEEP was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

VL

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, not advice obviously

VL

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

BB

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

three orders no issues

VL

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

TT

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

coming back after 26 months, who has changed for the better

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

WT

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

U1

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

BB

right so i would order from FGP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
