EM

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

TE

right so update from 8 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

PP

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

EM

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

EM

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

EM

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

SH

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

PP

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

ok so lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

SH

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

ask for a cold pack

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

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

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
PP

how long does support usually take to answer

EM

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

EM

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

PP

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

[edited]
PP

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

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

anyone compared SWB and SWB on the same compound

LM

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

🎉3🤝1

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

TE

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

LM

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

VB

Inter-lab diff for lot E-2205: 98.6% vs 98.1%. Within expected range.

TE

genuine question who are people using for retatrutide at the moment

LU

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

TE

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

what packaging have people had from HJ

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, i think

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

FD

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

weigh the vials

KF

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

KF

slightly off topic but quoted lead time was 5 days, real one was 4. is that typical

thats the synthesis house

thats a reseller

paperwork is worth it
update from 3 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

quick one do the arithmetic

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
