Highlights from this day
- retention_time — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 20:37
- private_script_pri — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WWB 21:40
- retention_time — update on the earlier thing SSA has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want 22:31
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
does factory direct actually mean anything
the packaging from GGPeps was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
weigh the vials

ask who makes it
anyone compared SSA and HJ on the same compound
🔥2👀2💀1
do the arithmetic
i would order from QYB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
thats the synthesis house

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
order before new year

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
coming back to this better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
per mg including shipping
update on the earlier thing i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

update from 11 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

for the archive price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, i could be wrong
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WWB
📉11
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
thats a reseller

my first order from QST was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, for what its worth
not by dm
three orders no issues

they slipped
what packaging have people had from SWB
they improved
follow up the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, we shall see
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
paperwork is worth it
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, someone check my working
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 mgupdate on the earlier thing SSA has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
ask for a cold pack
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
