Highlights from this day
- freeze_thaw — i would order from GGPeps again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 21:15
- freeze_thaw — slightly off topic but the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described 21:35
- never_for_sale — support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 22:19
- never_for_sale — how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times 22:21
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
paperwork is worth it

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, your mileage will differ
🤝1🧊1
unrelated but better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
what packaging have people had from WXT
while im here i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

thats the synthesis house

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
sorry to jump in minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
🎉7🧊3
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, from memory
FGP has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want

screenshot the invoice
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
is QST the manufacturer or a reseller
sorry to jump in price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, ymmv
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
my first order from SGN was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
not by dm
[edited]weigh the vials

update from 1 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, not advice obviously
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, thats one data point
they slipped
🔥15
ask for a cold pack
quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 12. is that typical
thats a reseller
Assay note: KP lot F-1330 reported at 98.6% of label content.

order before new year
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with CPC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, take that with a pinch of salt
how long does support usually take to answer
slightly off topic but the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

the packaging from SGN was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
ask who makes it
🔥4🧪8
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, i think
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
per mg including shipping
three orders no issues
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

coming back after 14 months, who has changed for the better
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem

Digest for the week of 2025-12-22 has been published.
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
first order from BCH, anything i should know
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
