no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described, someone check my working

paperwork is worth it

coming back after 1 months, who has changed for the better

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

KP has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want

VB

Batch lookup E-2205: 7 independent reports on file, earliest 2025-10-11.

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

GG

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

update on the earlier thing prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

GB

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

they slipped

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

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

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

FA

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

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

GG

quoted lead time was 4 days, real one was 21. is that typical

three orders no issues

GB

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

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

what packaging have people had from GL Biochem

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

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

ok so whats the minimum order like at SSA

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

BW

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

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

anyone compared QSC and QST on the same compound

IO

while im here update from 4 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

LO

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

LO

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

order before new year
