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

🎉1

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

BB

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

FT

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

anyone compared QSC and WXT on the same compound

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, we shall see

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

TT

update from 12 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

AD

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

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

TT

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

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

weigh the vials

CO

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

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

first order from KP, anything i should know

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

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

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

they improved

Reminder set. I will post here in 5 days.

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate, ill dig out the number

CO

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

FF

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

sorry to jump in is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

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

*that should say weekly

FF

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

PM

SWB has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want, ymmv

VB
