they improved

meniscus_mel 21:09

update on the earlier thing quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

deamidationlab21:14

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

weigh the vials

sorry to jump in anyone had fill consistency problems with GL Biochem

unrelated but what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

impersonator_ip 21:20

thats a reseller

❤️5😂3

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

deamidationlab21:23

per mg including shipping

lead_time_lars 21:29

screenshot the invoice

deamidationlab21:33

order before new year

✅1

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

deamidationlab21:42

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

week_three_wall 21:44

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

thats the synthesis house

paperwork is worth it

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

the packaging from KP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

salt_bridgelab22:01

quoted lead time was 2 days, real one was 10. is that typical

taper_or_not 22:04

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

salt_bridgelab22:12

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

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

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

salt_bridge the packaging from KP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

impersonator_ip 22:21

ask for a cold pack

salt_bridgelab22:24

who are people using for retatrutide at the moment

salt_bridgelab22:34

how long does support usually take to answer

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

declared_value 22:38

three orders no issues

deamidationlab22:39

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

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

🧪2🎉1🧊3

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

deamidationlab23:05

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

declared_value three orders no issues

salt_bridgelab23:06

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

salt_bridgelab23:30

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