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

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
thats the synthesis house
*that should say weekly
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
🧊1
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
ask for a cold pack
anyone compared CPC and GGPeps on the same compound
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
coming back after 22 months, who has changed for the better
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
what packaging have people had from ERP
three orders no issues
how long does support usually take to answer
update on the earlier thing quoted lead time was 4 days, real one was 7. is that typical
weigh the vials
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
sorry to jump in is HJ the manufacturer or a reseller
[edited]i would order from SSA again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
not by dm
follow up anyone had fill consistency problems with GGPeps

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SSA, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, i could be wrong
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
quick one cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
order before new year

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

whats the minimum order like at SWB
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for KP
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
[edited]nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did, not advice obviously
update from 26 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, ask me again in a month
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
who are people using for cagrilintide at the moment
do the arithmetic
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
right so i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
first order from BCH, anything i should know
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
does factory direct actually mean anything
