Highlights from this day
  • private_script_pri — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate 17:14
  • group_buy_gwen — better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago 17:49
  • tenpence — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for MKM 18:58
  • non_scale_win — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 19:09
  • non_scale_win — nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, from memory 19:20

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

MM

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

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

TE

slightly off topic but is FGP the manufacturer or a reseller

quoted lead time was 4 days, real one was 12. is that typical

GB

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

update on the earlier thing reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

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

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

SS

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

whats the minimum order like at WXT

TE

has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for MKM

👀2👍9

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

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

[edited]

thats the synthesis house

follow up JEEP has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want

three orders no issues

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

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

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

NS

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, from memory

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
SS

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