Highlights from this day
  • relabel_watch — sorry to jump in first order from WXT, anything i should know 17:17
  • lisbon_lot — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 17:34
  • ring_size_down — quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part 21:01

follow up cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

[edited]

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

RW

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

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

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

they improved

LL

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

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

LL

i would order from QSC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, n of 1 obviously

RW

update on the earlier thing is it worth paying more for better paperwork
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

coming back after 3 months, who has changed for the better

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

[edited]

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

HH

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

update on the earlier thing a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

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

HH

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

screenshot the invoice

SS

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, from memory

LL

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

HH

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
