- lead_time_lars — i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 17:25
- egfr_ed — first order from MKM, anything i should know 18:34
- invoice_mismatch — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for QYB 19:56
- lead_time_lars — my first order from GL Biochem was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 20:02
- closer_not_simpler — i would order from WXT again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, i think 22:07
quick one prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
unrelated but does factory direct actually mean anything
thats a reseller
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
weigh the vials
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
ask for a cold pack
is QSC the manufacturer or a reseller
first order from MKM, anything i should know
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
order before new year
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
Reminder set. I will post here in 7 days.
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
update from 18 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for QYB
screenshot the invoice
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
*Medutest not the other one
my first order from GL Biochem was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
ok so a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
i would order from WXT again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, i think
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
