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

Highlights from this day
- plateau_pen — genuine question whats the minimum order like at QST 18:17
- turnaround_tam — genuine question a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 18:34
- monoisotopic — BCH has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want 19:44
- bea_reconstitutes — ok so minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number 19:56
- apnoea_down_two — support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 20:32
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
genuine question whats the minimum order like at QST
👀3🎉8🧪5
is GGPeps the manufacturer or a reseller
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
who are people using for semaglutide at the moment
*Medutest not the other one
they improved

three orders no issues
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
screenshot the invoice
update from 8 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
slightly off topic but my first order from TFC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
coming back after 18 months, who has changed for the better

coming back to this anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

quick one whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
does factory direct actually mean anything
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
[edited]not by dm
thats a reseller

what packaging have people had from MKM
BCH has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want
💀8
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with JEEP, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
thats the synthesis house
[edited]ask who makes it
ok so minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
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 mgfollow up nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
while im here lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
for the archive how long does support usually take to answer
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
quoted lead time was 4 days, real one was 12. is that typical
they slipped
💀4
*Medutest not the other one
update on the earlier thing i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
for the archive the packaging from JEEP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
🙏9⚠️3
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
JEEP has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want
ask for a cold pack
per mg including shipping
👀15⚠️1🧊14
paperwork is worth it
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
thats the synthesis house
right so is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
Homopeptide has been consistent for me across 2 orders which is what i actually want
anyone compared CPC and GL Biochem on the same compound
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
👍1💀6
ok so ask who makes it
🤝9
weigh the vials
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
they improved, anyway
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
screenshot the invoice
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
i would order from ERP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, not advice obviously
thats a reseller
anyone had fill consistency problems with TFC
