Highlights from this day
- half_life_hal — i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 14:26
- half_life_hal — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GL Biochem, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 14:28
- declared_value — lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, i could be wrong 14:49
update from 23 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

thats a reseller
thats the synthesis house
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
does factory direct actually mean anything

slightly off topic but how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
is it worth paying more for better paperwork

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
