Highlights from this day
  • swab_dry_first — i would order from BCH again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 12:52
  • endotoxin_ed — support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 14:43
  • batch_variance — what packaging have people had from SSA 15:08
EE

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

per mg including shipping

BV

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

EE

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

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

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

update from 4 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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

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

BV

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

SL

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

SL

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

VB

Inter-lab diff for lot E-2205: 99.2% vs 98.6%. Within expected range.

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, happy to be corrected

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

do the arithmetic

TE

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

weigh the vials

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

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

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

screenshot the invoice

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