Highlights from this day
- bea_reconstitutes — quick one the packaging from QST was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact, ill dig out the number 16:06
- typosquat_tay — the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one 16:07
- bea_reconstitutes — sorry to jump in the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 17:40
- egfr_ed — i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 19:15
slightly off topic but i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
they slipped
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, take that with a pinch of salt
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
screenshot the invoice
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
[edited]anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
anyone had fill consistency problems with QST
update from 26 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
thats a reseller
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, thats just me
paperwork is worth it
quick one better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
does factory direct actually mean anything
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

whats the minimum order like at KP
for the archive support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, take that with a pinch of salt
ask for a cold pack

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, for what its worth
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, still working it out
FGP has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want
i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
