Highlights from this day
  • retention_time — genuine question i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem 15:49
  • tenpence — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 18:04
  • vial_ledger — the packaging from QSC was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact 19:23
  • tenpence — whats the minimum order like at WWB 19:40
  • tenpence — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GGPeps, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 19:43

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

weigh the vials

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

MM

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

TE

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

TE

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

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

MM

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

NH

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

NH

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

MM

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

TE

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

🎉14🙏15😂16

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

HJ has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want

MM

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

MM

update from 20 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

VL

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

how long does support usually take to answer

TE

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

thats a reseller

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication

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

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 WWB

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

screenshot the invoice

anyone had fill consistency problems with MKM

FA

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

paperwork is worth it
