Highlights from this day
- split_dose_sam — 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 06:20
- split_dose_sam — how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer 08:22
- split_dose_sam — a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 09:14
- surpass_two — update from 13 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity 09:16
- surpass_two — the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 09:29
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, ymmv
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
thats the synthesis house
👍7🧪14
the packaging from SWB was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
whats the minimum order like at GL Biochem
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
my first order from KP was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
screenshot the invoice

ask who makes it
💀1⚠️12
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
they improved
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
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
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

weigh the vials

per mg including shipping
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
GGPeps has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with TFC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for Homopeptide
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
paperwork is worth it
ask for a cold pack

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

the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
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 mgi would order from SSA again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, someone check my working
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
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
order before new year

does factory direct actually mean anything
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
they slipped
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
slightly off topic but is SGN the manufacturer or a reseller

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, from memory
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
