Highlights from this day
  • per_mg_pete — the packaging from FGP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 21:58
  • per_mg_pete — support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 22:19
  • mg_per_ml — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 22:29
  • vial_ledger — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 22:35
  • turnaround_tam — my first order from Homopeptide was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 23:27

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

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

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

update from 3 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

thats a reseller

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

do the arithmetic

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

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

HL

update on the earlier thing anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

VL

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, anyway

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

VI

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

TT

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

per mg including shipping

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

my first order from Homopeptide was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
