weigh the vials
ask who makes it
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 mgquoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 13. is that typical

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
coming back after 10 months, who has changed for the better
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
order before new year
slightly off topic but whats the minimum order like at MKM

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
anyone had fill consistency problems with KP
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
how long does support usually take to answer
Inter-lab diff for lot B-0114: 99.2% vs 98.6%. Within expected range.
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
i would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
first order from QYB, anything i should know
🔥13⚠️3
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
paperwork is worth it
they improved
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, i could be wrong

anyone compared ERP and SWB on the same compound
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
screenshot the invoice
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
