Highlights from this day
- u100_pat — price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything 20:12
- olive_orders — a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg 20:42
- olive_orders — ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot 20:47
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
thats the synthesis house
👍5😂5
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
order before new year
anyone had fill consistency problems with SSA
how long does support usually take to answer
💀9
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
[edited]not by dm
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
[edited]quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
🙏7📉1
who are people using for tirzepatide at the moment
QST has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want
they slipped
ask who makes it
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
follow up anyone compared KP and GL Biochem on the same compound
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

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

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

quoted lead time was 3 days, real one was 25. is that typical
is CPC the manufacturer or a reseller
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, i think

update from 20 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

per mg including shipping
[edited]they improved
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for HJ
coming back after 19 months, who has changed for the better
screenshot the invoice

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, we shall see
the packaging from Homopeptide was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
👍2
unrelated but lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
first order from KP, anything i should know
i would order from BCH again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
