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

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, n of 1 obviously

whats the minimum order like at KP

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

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

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

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

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

my first order from MKM was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

they improved

three orders no issues

slightly off topic but anyone compared JEEP and BCH on the same compound

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

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

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

ask for a cold pack

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

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

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

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, anyway

Purity check: no report on file for lot B-0329. Nothing logged either way.

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

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

ask who makes it

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

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

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

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

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

not by dm

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

screenshot the invoice

right so coming back after 16 months, who has changed for the better

weigh the vials

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