Highlights from this day
- step_one_sian — nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did 20:37
- tenpence — quick one the packaging from ERP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 20:54
- tenpence — i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 21:18
- VialBot — Recon calculator: 40mg in 2ml = 5mg/ml. 22:00
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
Inter-lab diff for lot B-0329: 98.6% vs 96.8%. Within expected range.
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, thats just me
do the arithmetic
they improved
paperwork is worth it
whats the minimum order like at GL Biochem
ask who makes it
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, i could be wrong
coming back to this i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
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 mga supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
i would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
quick one the packaging from ERP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

ERP has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GL Biochem, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
thats a reseller
is it worth paying more for better paperwork

three orders no issues
my first order from QSC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
they slipped
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WXT
screenshot the invoice
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

not by dm
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
order before new year
anyone had fill consistency problems with ERP
Recon calculator: 40mg in 2ml = 5mg/ml.

ok so price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, your mileage will differ
right so is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
screenshot the invoice

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
Recon calculator: 40mg in 1ml = 4mg/ml.
thats the synthesis house
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
does factory direct actually mean anything
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

unrelated but thats a reseller
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
