order before new year

three orders no issues
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
my first order from GL Biochem was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
anyone had fill consistency problems with FGP
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

coming back after 9 months, who has changed for the better
[edited]thats a reseller
right so nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
per mg including shipping
not by dm
does factory direct actually mean anything
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
sorry to jump in how long does support usually take to answer
anyone compared GGPeps and JEEP on the same compound
💀8
they improved
thats the synthesis house
who are people using for semaglutide at the moment
QST has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
ask for a cold pack
ask who makes it
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 mgright so better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, for what its worth
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
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

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, we shall see
screenshot the invoice
thank_you_year_onright so nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would…
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, happy to be corrected
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, ymmv
i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
what packaging have people had from SWB
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
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
do the arithmetic
*PeptideMeter not the other one
paperwork is worth it
is TFC the manufacturer or a reseller
while im here 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 mgi have never had a problem i could not resolve with GL Biochem, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
Testing queue: 7 submissions open, 11 awaiting dispatch.

quoted lead time was 5 days, real one was 18. is that typical
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
ask for a cold pack
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, we shall see
they improved, i have it written down somewhere
sorry to jump in does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
whats the minimum order like at GL Biochem
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
