Highlights from this day
- per_mg_pete — ok so support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 09:43
- ari_arrives — the packaging from WWB was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 10:40
- invoice_mismatch — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate, still working it out 11:13
ask for a cold pack
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GL Biochem, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
[edited]i would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, anyway
sorry to jump in my first order from QSC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

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

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

who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
update from 18 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
coming back after 9 months, who has changed for the better
sorry to jump in if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
they improved
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
is ERP the manufacturer or a reseller
*PeptideMeter not the other one
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
what packaging have people had from MKM
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
the packaging from WWB was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

thats the synthesis house
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
thats a reseller

anyone had fill consistency problems with SGN
screenshot the invoice
weigh the vials
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for HJ
