minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

thats the synthesis house
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
[edited]i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
ok so prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, still working it out
they improved
ask who makes it

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
update on the earlier thing anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
while im here what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
slightly off topic but whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
my first order from GGPeps was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, ask me again in a month
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
ask for a cold pack
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with MKM, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
is JEEP the manufacturer or a reseller
not by dm
Testing queue: 5 submissions open, 64 awaiting dispatch.
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment
screenshot the invoice
*VendorInvestigate not the other one
paperwork is worth it
weigh the vials
anyone had fill consistency problems with JEEP
order before new year
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
right so lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

New independent result logged — Homopeptide, lot F-1330, purity 98.6% (PeptideMeter).
for the archive whats the minimum order like at TFC
update from 11 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
they slipped
WXT has been consistent for me across 2 orders which is what i actually want
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, n of 1 obviously

update on the earlier thing the packaging from GL Biochem was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
i would order from GL Biochem again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
does factory direct actually mean anything
[edited]first order from JEEP, anything i should know
three orders no issues
per mg including shipping
slightly off topic but three orders no issues, thats one data point
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, ymmv

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, thats just me
not by dm, from memory
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
