Highlights from this day
  • forty_five_kg — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 12:04
  • food_noise_off — if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it 13:13
  • per_mg_pete — my first order from QSC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 14:11

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

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

update from 11 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

[edited]

three orders no issues

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

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

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

unrelated but weigh the vials

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

update on the earlier thing is it worth paying more for better paperwork

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
II

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

SH

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

II

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

VI

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

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

FN

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

II

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