Highlights from this day
New independent result logged — QSC, lot D-0718, purity 99% (Medutest).
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
update on the earlier thing i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
what packaging have people had from WXT
⚠️18
the packaging from SSA was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
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 mghas anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for BCH
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
whats the minimum order like at JEEP
my first order from WXT was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
genuine question support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
for the archive whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
ERP has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want
thats the synthesis house
do the arithmetic
paperwork is worth it
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

coming back to this nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, someone check my working
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
three orders no issues
update from 21 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, thats one data point
i would order from WXT again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, not advice obviously

my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
thats a reseller
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
anyone had fill consistency problems with WWB
🙏5
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, ask me again in a month
update on the earlier thing cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, happy to be corrected
not by dm
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
👍2
does factory direct actually mean anything
[edited]the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
*Medutest not the other one
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
they slipped
