while im here a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

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

LO

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

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

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

DD

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

follow up how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

LO

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

they improved

follow up what packaging have people had from QSC

update from 19 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

quick one is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

HM

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

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, thats one data point

ask who makes it

📉2💀3

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

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

HM

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

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

FGP has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want

weigh the vials

GB

slightly off topic but minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, take that with a pinch of salt

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

BR

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, ask me again in a month

three orders no issues

SH

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

SH

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

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

is QSC the manufacturer or a reseller

screenshot the invoice

GB

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

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

BR

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, n of 1 obviously

MC

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

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

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
