MM

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

BB

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

BB

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

MM

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

MM

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

VV

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

unrelated but is QST the manufacturer or a reseller

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

VV

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

whats the minimum order like at WXT

MM

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

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

VV

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, your mileage will differ

VV

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