Highlights from this day

ferrous_ash — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 22:01
typosquat_tay — better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago 22:09
pbs_pip — i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 22:32
pbs_pip — quoted lead time was 4 days, real one was 22. is that typical 22:47

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

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

ask for a cold pack

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

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

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

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, i could be wrong

does factory direct actually mean anything
