  • factory_direct_fi — what packaging have people had from QYB 13:02
  • vial_ledger — update from 8 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity 14:26
  • ferritin_fay — prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice 15:44

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

FM

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

FD

what packaging have people had from QYB

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
FM

unrelated but i would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

PC

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

first order from GGPeps, anything i should know

FA

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

VL

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

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
VL

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

FD

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

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

NP

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

FF

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

⚠️8💀15😂2

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

TL

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

NP

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

weigh the vials

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

NP

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
