- seoul_swirl — a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 18:20
- mira_pins — slightly off topic but my first order from BCH was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 19:34
- seoul_swirl — for the archive update from 13 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, thats just me 19:42
screenshot the invoice
MKM has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want
ok so prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

i would order from Homopeptide again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, i could be wrong
they improved
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
per mg including shipping
⚠️14👀12
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
three orders no issues
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
thats a reseller

quoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 21. is that typical
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with MKM, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
[edited]they slipped

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
[edited]the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
slightly off topic but my first order from BCH was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

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

coming back to this what packaging have people had from FGP
is QYB the manufacturer or a reseller
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
right so support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
ask who makes it
does factory direct actually mean anything
thats the synthesis house
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, ask me again in a month
ask for a cold pack
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
right so do the arithmetic
Recon calculator: 15mg in 3ml = 10mg/ml.
not by dm
order before new year
right so per mg including shipping
paperwork is worth it
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
coming back after 15 months, who has changed for the better
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
follow up is it worth paying more for better paperwork
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
genuine question they slipped
ask who makes it, from memory
