Highlights from this day
- lean_mass_lex — ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot 17:43
- lean_mass_lex — the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, take that with a pinch of salt a reseller relabelling a synthesis… 17:58
- lean_mass_lex — lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out 17:59
- auckland_aliquot — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with BCH, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 18:15
- dexa_or_bia — update on the earlier thing quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part 20:34
the packaging from WWB was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
Reminder for auckland_aliquot: dose day is today. Set 5 days ago.
quoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 18. is that typical
thats a reseller
is GGPeps the manufacturer or a reseller
my first order from GL Biochem was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
update from 8 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for QYB
ask for a cold pack
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🙏2
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

order before new year
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, take that with a pinch of salt
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

Inter-lab diff for lot C-4402: 97.4% vs 99%. Within expected range.
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with BCH, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
weigh the vials
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 mga reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, for what its worth
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
first order from WXT, anything i should know
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
three orders no issues, n of 1 obviously
update on the earlier thing does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
whats the minimum order like at BCH
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, thats one data point
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
coming back after 9 months, who has changed for the better
right so how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
update on the earlier thing quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
