prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
they slipped
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

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
the packaging from JEEP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
three orders no issues

does factory direct actually mean anything

per mg including shipping
thats the synthesis house
🤝14
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GGPeps, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
update on the earlier thing reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

Archive lookup: abdo_two_inch first appears in this channel on 2025-01-29.
how long does support usually take to answer
they improved

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
for the archive update from 14 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
ask who makes it
[edited]i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
is JEEP the manufacturer or a reseller
my first order from TFC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
📉7🔥5
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, thats one data point
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for QSC
[edited]not by dm
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
ask for a cold pack
do the arithmetic
