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

is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
🔥1👀2😂12
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it, your mileage will differ
🎉4💀1😂2
is QYB the manufacturer or a reseller
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
do the arithmetic
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, not advice obviously
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

they slipped
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
QYB has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
quick one a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
ask for a cold pack
quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 23. is that typical
for the archive no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
three orders no issues
unrelated but anyone had fill consistency problems with GL Biochem
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 mgi asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
order before new year
anyone compared SSA and WWB on the same compound
they improved
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 mgfirst order from QYB, anything i should know

follow up cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times

per mg including shipping
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
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 mgthats the synthesis house

slightly off topic but the packaging from Homopeptide was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with GGPeps, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
unrelated but how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
slightly off topic but update from 8 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
weigh the vials, from memory
thats a reseller
does factory direct actually mean anything
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

my first order from Homopeptide was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
paperwork is worth it

i would order from WXT again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
