Highlights from this day
ask for a cold pack
update from 10 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
[edited]ok so i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GL Biochem, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
they improved
follow up how long does support usually take to answer
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

they slipped
[edited]price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, for what its worth
SWB has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want
does factory direct actually mean anything
per mg including shipping
⚠️9
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
🔥1
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, someone check my working
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for FGP
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💀9⚠️15
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
coming back after 4 months, who has changed for the better
🎉8🔥1
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
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✅1🧪18
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
✅11💀16🎉4
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, anyway
quoted lead time was 6 days, real one was 16. is that typical
i would order from MKM again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
[edited]is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
thats the synthesis house
three orders no issues
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
genuine question is it worth paying more for better paperwork
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 mgsupport answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
genuine question the packaging from Homopeptide was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
ask who makes it
paperwork is worth it
slightly off topic but is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
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
[edited]cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
Reminder for vat_on_import: dose day is today. Set 7 days ago.

what packaging have people had from QSC
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
order before new year
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
whats the minimum order like at JEEP
thats a reseller
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, i could be wrong
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
anyone had fill consistency problems with SWB
do the arithmetic, n of 1 obviously
not by dm
screenshot the invoice

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
weigh the vials
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with HJ, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
