the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

GB

i would order from QYB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, thats just me
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

right so what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

update from 20 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

unrelated but does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

SF

quick one quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, from memory

AP

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

Digest for the week of 2025-02-08 has been published.

HH

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house

RR

unrelated but quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 11. is that typical

VO

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

GB

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

AP

my first order from SGN was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, i could be wrong

AP

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
i would order from SSA again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

FN

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

NP

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, happy to be corrected

has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for GL Biochem

TE

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

sorry to jump in ask for a cold pack

SF

the packaging from GL Biochem was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

GB

what packaging have people had from WWB
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

GB

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
SGN has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want

HL

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SGN, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

HL

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

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

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

VO

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
