Highlights from this day
- ring_size_down — nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did 15:44
- madrid_mg — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 15:55
- area_percent — the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 18:16
order before new year
weigh the vials
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
quick one my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, i have it written down somewhere
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

i would order from WWB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, ill dig out the number
three orders no issues
📉1👀3
first order from TFC, anything i should know
Reminder set. I will post here in 7 days.
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
does factory direct actually mean anything
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
anyone compared SSA and CPC on the same compound
*PeptideMeter not the other one
HJ has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want
SGN has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want
thats the synthesis house

Channel stats, last 30 days: 104 messages from 32 members.
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, from memory
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

quoted lead time was 3 days, real one was 6. is that typical
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 mgscreenshot the invoice
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
not by dm
per mg including shipping
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate, for what its worth
paperwork is worth it
update from 8 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
thats a reseller
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
do the arithmetic
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QST, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, take that with a pinch of salt
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

for the archive is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
they slipped
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
ask for a cold pack
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

they improved
is JEEP the manufacturer or a reseller
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
ask who makes it
unrelated but lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
screenshot the invoice
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
ask who makes it
coming back after 9 months, who has changed for the better
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
thats the synthesis house
do the arithmetic, thats one data point

sorry to jump in the packaging from Homopeptide was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact, not advice obviously
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for Homopeptide
