Highlights from this day
- cagri_curious — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, ymmv 19:22
- thursday_thea — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WXT 20:57
- per_mg_pete — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 21:23

sorry to jump in i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
follow up i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
my first order from SGN was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

update on the earlier thing a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, anyway
not by dm
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
the packaging from SWB was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
update on the earlier thing is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, happy to be corrected
coming back to this whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
spreadsheet_stuquoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
ok so a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
three orders no issues
update from 16 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
per mg including shipping
i would order from QSC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

do the arithmetic
ask who makes it
who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment
is it worth paying more for better paperwork

right so reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WXT

coming back after 17 months, who has changed for the better
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, n of 1 obviously
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
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 mgis SSA the manufacturer or a reseller
they slipped
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
QST has been consistent for me across 2 orders which is what i actually want, ask me again in a month
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
thats a reseller
order before new year
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
