Highlights from this day
  • deamidation — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate 22:45
  • deamidation — the packaging from GL Biochem was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 22:47
  • per_mg_pete — does factory direct actually mean anything 23:07
  • per_mg_pete — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QYB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 23:24

weigh the vials

TL

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

paperwork is worth it

DE

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

unrelated but cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, thats one data point

not by dm

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, take that with a pinch of salt

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

QYB has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want

quoted lead time was 2 days, real one was 8. is that typical

ask who makes it

PM

slightly off topic but is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

three orders no issues

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

whats the minimum order like at SWB

*VendorInvestigate not the other one

does factory direct actually mean anything

PM

follow up better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

LM

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

right so what packaging have people had from BCH

PM

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QYB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

LL

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

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

VB

Channel stats, last 30 days: 67 messages from 24 members.

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

BB

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

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

*that should say weekly
