Highlights from this day
- private_script_pri — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 18:09
- tga_notice — does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer 18:39
- batch_bandit — first order from BCH, anything i should know 20:10
- batch_bandit — a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 20:19
does factory direct actually mean anything
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
do the arithmetic
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, i think

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
paperwork is worth it
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
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 mghas anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for HJ
order before new year
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, n of 1 obviously
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
*that should say weekly
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, i have it written down somewhere
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, someone check my working
screenshot the invoice
right so ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
they improved
ask who makes it

coming back to this i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
they slipped
✅2🎉6
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

slightly off topic but how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 2 orders which is what i actually want
first order from BCH, anything i should know

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
🔥1📈7💀1
anyone had fill consistency problems with MKM
not by dm
quick one the packaging from CPC was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
[edited]private_script_pricoming back to this i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a…
how long does support usually take to answer
unrelated but what packaging have people had from WWB
thats the synthesis house
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
per mg including shipping
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
[edited]three orders no issues
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
thats a reseller
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
