- lipase_lore — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 09:15
- slow.taper — while im here QST has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want 12:05
- typosquat_tay — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WWB 14:26
they slipped
thats a reseller
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
weigh the vials
anyone had fill consistency problems with JEEP
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

they improved
do the arithmetic
my first order from QST was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
i would order from MKM again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, ask me again in a month

screenshot the invoice
while im here i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

order before new year
is it worth paying more for better paperwork

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, still working it out
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
📈15📉1✅2
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with CPC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, ill dig out the number
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
three orders no issues
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
per mg including shipping
genuine question lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
thats the synthesis house
not by dm
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

while im here QST has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want
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 mggenuine question does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
ask for a cold pack
the packaging from SSA was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
[edited]cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

what packaging have people had from CPC
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
paperwork is worth it
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for WWB
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 mgquick one support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

three orders no issues

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
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

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