cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

ask for a cold pack

do the arithmetic

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

they improved

*Medutest not the other one

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

update on the earlier thing ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

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

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

Inter-lab diff for lot KP-0925: 98.1% vs 99.2%. Within expected range.

slightly off topic but i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, anyway

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
