nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, take that with a pinch of salt

EO

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

VO

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

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

RR

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

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

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, take that with a pinch of salt

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

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 mg

GGPeps has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want, i think

genuine question is it worth paying more for better paperwork

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

they improved

SD

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

WT

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

CV

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

weigh the vials

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

SD

quick one ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

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

MS

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 mg
SD

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

[edited]

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, ask me again in a month

WT

i would order from SGN again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

EE

update from 25 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

EE

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

WT

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

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

per mg including shipping

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

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

BR

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