if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

Highlights from this day
- split_the_cost — a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house 15:22
- power_through_no — genuine question Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want, still working it out 15:37
- provincial_pat — price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything 17:29
- split_dose_sam — ok so whats the minimum order like at MKM 19:12
- split_dose_sam — anyone compared WXT and HJ on the same compound 19:29
they slipped
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, take that with a pinch of salt
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
is MKM the manufacturer or a reseller
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
update on the earlier thing update from 26 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, not advice obviously

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 mgthe packaging from CPC was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

per mg including shipping
genuine question Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 9 orders which is what i actually want, still working it out

ask for a cold pack
three orders no issues
💀17
coming back to this is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
🧪9
they improved
what packaging have people had from SGN
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
✅1🤝2
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
order before new year
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
for the archive prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, from memory

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, ymmv
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for SWB
quoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 26. is that typical
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
weigh the vials
for the archive i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SGN, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
*PeptideMeter not the other one
not by dm
coming back after 11 months, who has changed for the better
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
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 mgthe same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
thats the synthesis house
paperwork is worth it
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, someone check my working
update on the earlier thing thats a reseller

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
ask who makes it
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
unrelated but a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, thats just me
my first order from MKM was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
do the arithmetic
Verification log updated: CPC — evidence added, status unchanged.
ask for a cold pack
i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
screenshot the invoice

ok so whats the minimum order like at MKM
📈18
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
do the arithmetic
anyone compared WXT and HJ on the same compound

right so does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
they slipped
