Highlights from this day
- dez_domains — anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning 20:18
- swab_dry_first — better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago 21:02
- vial_ledger — the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 22:47
- HPLC_Hank — unrelated but i would order from WXT again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 23:04
the packaging from QSC was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
not by dm
while im here support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
ask for a cold pack
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, for what its worth
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
whats the minimum order like at QSC
my first order from KP was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
anyone had fill consistency problems with SSA
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

slightly off topic but coming back after 16 months, who has changed for the better
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, thats one data point
Inter-lab diff for lot C-4402: 97.4% vs 98.1%. Within expected range.
unrelated but who are people using for semaglutide at the moment
coming back to this lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
seizure_letterwhile im here support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point…
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for QYB
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, still working it out

update from 4 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
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🧪8
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
how long does support usually take to answer
ok so a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
what packaging have people had from KP
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
*that should say weekly
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
first order from QST, anything i should know
three orders no issues
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
QYB has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want
thats a reseller
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with KP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
do the arithmetic
genuine question reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
