Highlights from this day
- invoice_mismatch — unrelated but GGPeps has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want, ill dig out the number 14:39
- nhs_pathway_nell — slightly off topic but i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SSA, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 14:52
- nordic_price_nils — whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully 16:19
- fridge_thermo — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 16:45
- fridge_thermo — a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg 19:38
update from 9 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
not by dm
per mg including shipping

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
slightly off topic but i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SSA, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
[edited]three orders no issues

they slipped

screenshot the invoice
nhs_pathway_nellslightly off topic but i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SSA, which…
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
thats a reseller
ok so my first order from TFC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, i have it written down somewhere
ask who makes it
unrelated but lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
Digest for the week of 2025-05-27 has been published.
whats the minimum order like at WWB
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
[edited]slightly off topic but prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, we shall see
anyone compared SGN and CPC on the same compound
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
thats the synthesis house
they improved
right so i would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
paperwork is worth it
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
👍10🧪10💀2
ask for a cold pack
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
nhs_pathway_nellslightly off topic but i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SSA, which…
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for SWB
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

does factory direct actually mean anything
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
SGN has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want
weigh the vials, thats just me

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