prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from 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

thats a reseller

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for JEEP

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

order before new year

they slipped

update from 21 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

anyone compared MKM and QSC on the same compound

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

ok so 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

not by dm

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with TFC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

paperwork is worth it

i would order from QYB again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone

quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

coming back to this lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

follow up cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, not advice obviously

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

is JEEP the manufacturer or a reseller

follow up quoted lead time was 7 days, real one was 19. is that typical

sorry to jump in my first order from GGPeps was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

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

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, from memory

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, not advice obviously

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

slightly off topic but how long does support usually take to answer

quick one is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask

weigh the vials

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

slightly off topic but better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
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

what packaging have people had from KP

does factory direct actually mean anything

ask who makes it

screenshot the invoice

per mg including shipping

order before new year

the packaging from FGP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

Purity check: no report on file for lot D-0718. Nothing logged either way.

three orders no issues

they slipped

per mg including shipping

they improved

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

three orders no issues

coming back after 20 months, who has changed for the better
