Highlights from this day
- protein_floor — i would order from GL Biochem again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 22:10
- impersonator_ip — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with ERP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 22:55
- vial_ledger — a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg 23:22

my first order from FGP was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
how long does support usually take to answer
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
22:20quiet.hours pinned a message to this channel
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
thats the synthesis house
three orders no issues
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
anyone compared SGN and CPC on the same compound
what packaging have people had from CPC
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
do the arithmetic
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
screenshot the invoice
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
thats a reseller
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
first order from QYB, anything i should know
paperwork is worth it

slightly off topic but i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with ERP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
ask for a cold pack

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
impersonator_ipi have never had a problem i could not resolve with ERP, which is a low bar and a lot…
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, take that with a pinch of salt
does factory direct actually mean anything
order before new year
weigh the vials
anyone had fill consistency problems with FGP
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
*Janoshik not the other one
who are people using for retatrutide at the moment
for the archive i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

ask who makes it

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

unrelated but minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
coming back after 5 months, who has changed for the better
update from 5 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
paperwork is worth it
