minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, take that with a pinch of salt

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

whats the minimum order like at GGPeps

do the arithmetic

update from 3 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

QST has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

who are people using for semaglutide at the moment
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

thats the synthesis house

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

weigh the vials

per mg including shipping

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

ask who makes it

three orders no issues

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

they slipped

they improved

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

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

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

while im here coming back after 7 months, who has changed for the better

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

order before new year

quoted lead time was 3 days, real one was 21. is that typical

ask for a cold pack

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, i have it written down somewhere

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

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

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

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

not by dm

coming back to this how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

screenshot the invoice

they improved

does factory direct actually mean anything
