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

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with WWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

II

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

GGPeps has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want

DD

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

DD

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

thats the synthesis house

sorry to jump in quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

😂1

order before new year

U1

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

CO

the packaging from SSA was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

II

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

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

update from 23 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

NN

ok so if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, ymmv

ask for a cold pack

TE

right so is it worth paying more for better paperwork

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
VB

Inter-lab diff for lot B-0114: 97.4% vs 99.2%. Within expected range.

TE

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

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

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

NN

i would order from MKM again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
