Highlights from this day
- gus_charts — the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 18:23
- tesa_tess — anyone had fill consistency problems with GL Biochem a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 19:21
- coa_or_cope — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 19:35
- mg_per_ml — who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment 20:39
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
ask who makes it
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
order before new year
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
thats a reseller
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
KP has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want
coming back after 5 months, who has changed for the better
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
weigh the vials
ok so update from 4 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GGPeps, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
anyone had fill consistency problems with GL Biochem
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
quoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 7. is that typical
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
do the arithmetic
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

the packaging from SSA was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
does factory direct actually mean anything
while im here lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
i would order from MKM again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
my first order from QST was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved, we shall see
they improved
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
while im here screenshot the invoice
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
ask who makes it
thats the synthesis house
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
ask for a cold pack
ask who makes it
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
per mg including shipping
ask who makes it
🔥2⚠️3
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
paperwork is worth it

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
paperwork is worth it
