ok so my first order from SGN was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
the packaging from GL Biochem was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

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

NW

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

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

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

ok so update from 6 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

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

TT

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

BB

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

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

TT

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

anyone had fill consistency problems with BCH

🎉16😂7❤️7

three orders no issues

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

BB

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

BB

QSC has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want
