ask for a cold pack
quoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 6. is that typical
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with TFC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, i think
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
thats the synthesis house
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
quick one how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
do the arithmetic
first order from MKM, anything i should know

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
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✅10
my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
does factory direct actually mean anything
