per mg including shipping

TT

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

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

MM

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

MM

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

TT

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

thats the synthesis house

LL

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

TT

sorry to jump in reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

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

order before new year

VB

Inter-lab diff for lot SG-1177: 99.2% vs 98.1%. Within expected range.

SS

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, thats just me

TT

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, someone check my working

MM

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

🎉1

ask who makes it

TT

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, n of 1 obviously

quoted lead time was 3 days, real one was 19. is that typical

*that should say weekly
