  • relabel_watch — FGP has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want 20:21
  • declared_value — quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, ill dig out the number 20:45

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

FD

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

FD

i would order from HJ again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

[edited]

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

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

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

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

VL

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

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

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, n of 1 obviously

🔥10💀1👀11

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

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

thats a reseller

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

whats the minimum order like at TFC

RW

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

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

FGP has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want

💀5🙏6❤️4

has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for HJ

ask for a cold pack

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QST, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

the packaging from KP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

weigh the vials

TO

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate, take that with a pinch of salt

thats a reseller

ask who makes it
