do the arithmetic

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

screenshot the invoice

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GL Biochem, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, we shall see

weigh the vials

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

first order from QSC, anything i should know

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

unrelated but whats the minimum order like at CPC

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, take that with a pinch of salt

what packaging have people had from SGN

coming back after 13 months, who has changed for the better

order before new year

for the archive does factory direct actually mean anything

ask who makes it

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

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

Purity check: no report on file for lot A-2418. Nothing logged either way.
