slightly off topic but update from 12 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

first order from Homopeptide, anything i should know

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

New independent result logged — GL Biochem, lot B-0114, purity 96.8% (Medutest).

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

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

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

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

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

thats a reseller

they improved

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

my first order from QYB was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

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

three orders no issues

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

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

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

while im here does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

do the arithmetic

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

ask who makes it, take that with a pinch of salt

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

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

they slipped

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

thats the synthesis house

who are people using for retatrutide at the moment

follow up thats the synthesis house
