cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

FA

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

[edited]

ask who makes it

RW

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

BR

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

order before new year

they improved

RW

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

weigh the vials

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

AA

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

[edited]

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

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

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

AA

coming back to this who are people using for semaglutide at the moment

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
