Highlights from this day
  • per_mg_pete — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, i have it written down somewhere 21:15
  • taper_or_not — ok so anyone compared TFC and CPC on the same compound 21:39
  • ghk_gia — ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot 22:10
  • ghk_gia — i would order from WXT again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 22:35
  • ghk_gia — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 23:04

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, i have it written down somewhere

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

paperwork is worth it

thats a reseller

TP

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

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

ok so anyone compared TFC and CPC on the same compound

weigh the vials

PM

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

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

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

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

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

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

TO

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

TO

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

they slipped

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, 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

GG

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

FA

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
