Highlights from this day
- forty_five_kg — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 17:39
- red_flag_ruby — prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice 17:41
- vale_vials — i would order from HJ again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 18:43
*PeptideMeter not the other one
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
Assay note: WXT lot E-2205 reported at 97.4% of label content.
per mg including shipping
🔥14
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
option A: 5 x 10mg @ 38 + 25 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option B: 5 x 10mg @ 34 + 45 ship = 215 / 50mg = 4.30 per mg
option C: 10 x 10mg @ 32 + 25 ship = 345 / 100mg = 3.45 per mg😂17👀1🧪4

is it worth paying more for better paperwork
how long does support usually take to answer
thats a reseller
paperwork is worth it
they improved
not by dm
sorry to jump in FGP has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want, thats one data point
three orders no issues

first order from SGN, anything i should know
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
ask for a cold pack
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
unrelated but i have never had a problem i could not resolve with Homopeptide, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, still working it out
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
thats the synthesis house
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
update from 20 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
weigh the vials

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
[edited]lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, ill dig out the number

if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
On this day 6 years ago this channel logged 78 messages.
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
