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

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
AB

unrelated but the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, your mileage will differ

VB

Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0114. Nothing logged either way.

paperwork is worth it

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

VL

unrelated but how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

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

HH

my first order from SSA was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

HH

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

VL

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

HJ has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want

do the arithmetic

screenshot the invoice

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
my first order from Homopeptide was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

AB

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

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

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

how long does support usually take to answer

sorry to jump in who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment

VL

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

TE

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

A1

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

not by dm

*that should say weekly

they improved

QH

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

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

VL

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

GB

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

VL

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

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, for what its worth
