Highlights from this day
- step_one_sian — what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now the packaging from SSA was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 21:40
- seizure_letter — minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 21:42
- bea_reconstitutes — update from 9 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity 23:03
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
ok so cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
how long does support usually take to answer
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
maintenance_mook so cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad…
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot, anyway
follow up the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
sorry to jump in i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago, thats one data point
