Highlights from this day
  • ferrous_ash — anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning 15:33
  • still_here_2024 — slightly off topic but cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier… 16:46
  • ferrous_ash — ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, n of 1 obviously 16:49

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 mg
