Highlights from this day
- blank_run — ok so anyone had fill consistency problems with QYB 20:19
- cricket_or_footy — whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully 20:44
- bpc_sceptic — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 21:57
- gradient_greg — for the archive anyone compared MKM and CPC on the same compound a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 22:10
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with WWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
order before new year
📈8📉9⚠️3
they improved
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
what packaging have people had from SWB
whats the minimum order like at SWB
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
[edited]ok so anyone had fill consistency problems with QYB

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
three orders no issues
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 mgERP has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want
thats the synthesis house
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, not advice obviously
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
how long does support usually take to answer
coming back to this i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
Digest for the week of 2025-09-06 has been published.
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

sorry to jump in how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
[edited]better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, n of 1 obviously
not by dm
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for KP
i would order from GGPeps again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
paperwork is worth it
do the arithmetic

cricket_or_footycoming back to this i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a…
the packaging from GGPeps was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
screenshot the invoice
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
weigh the vials
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
coming back after 21 months, who has changed for the better
who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

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

right so price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
my first order from MKM was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
🙏3👀1
first order from KP, anything i should know
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
👀9🤝1
update from 16 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
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 lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
my first order from SSA was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
not by dm
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
for the archive anyone compared MKM and CPC on the same compound
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
ask who makes it
they slipped
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
thats a reseller

per mg including shipping
ask for a cold pack
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

[edited]quoted lead time was 8 days, real one was 7. is that typical
