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

ask who makes it

order before new year
whats the minimum order like at KP
my first order from GGPeps was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
three orders no issues
thats a reseller
[edited]better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, for what its worth
what packaging have people had from CPC
paperwork is worth it
weigh the vials
anyone compared MKM and HJ on the same compound
*Janoshik not the other one
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

per mg including shipping
do the arithmetic
the packaging from Homopeptide was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
not by dm
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
screenshot the invoice
i would order from QST again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
they improved
for the archive what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
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
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
they slipped
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
📉1✅1
anyone had fill consistency problems with BCH
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 mg✅1🤝6⚠️1
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
thats the synthesis house
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
🙏2
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
🤝17
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
slightly off topic but update from 4 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, ymmv
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
