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

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

LT

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

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

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

FN

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

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

LT

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

TO

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

LT

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

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

update on the earlier thing quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

CP

update from 12 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

TO

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

LT

SWB has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want

SS

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

VB

Batch lookup G-0641: 8 independent reports on file, earliest 2024-06-13.

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

FN

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

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

CP

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with JEEP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
