cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

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

they slipped

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

DD

update on the earlier thing does factory direct actually mean anything

*Janoshik not the other one

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, n of 1 obviously

GG

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

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

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

ask who makes it

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

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

HL

i would order from CPC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

PM

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

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
