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

Highlights from this day
- night_pin — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for BCH update from 23 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity 12:28
- mira_pins — price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything 13:34
- rowan_reads — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, not advice obviously 13:52
- noct.titrate — what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now 15:32
- escalation_anxiety — whats the minimum order like at KP 15:33
update on the earlier thing ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
update on the earlier thing i would order from HJ again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
[edited]reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

they slipped
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
ask who makes it

thats a reseller
🤝2❤️5✅9
does factory direct actually mean anything
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
Reminder set. I will post here in 7 days.
weigh the vials
ok so prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
quoted lead time was 8 days, real one was 9. is that typical
thats the synthesis house
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
update on the earlier thing a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, not advice obviously
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🧪1📉8
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
is SWB the manufacturer or a reseller
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
they improved

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
three orders no issues
🤝3
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
paperwork is worth it
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
📉3❤️1
who are people using for retatrutide at the moment
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
*PeptideMeter not the other one
coming back after 2 months, who has changed for the better
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
👍7😂15
whats the minimum order like at KP
✅3👀6
anyone compared SWB and SSA on the same compound
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, anyway
sorry to jump in how long does support usually take to answer
per mg including shipping
