anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

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

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

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

FD

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

they improved

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

MS

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

FD

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

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

FD

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

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