Highlights from this day
- ghent_gradient — is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication 19:24
- marrow.mod — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate 19:38
- melb_meniscus — whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully 20:10
- tail_factor — genuine question reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying 20:12
- ghent_gradient — is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask 21:55
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
they slipped
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, for what its worth

first order from QST, anything i should know
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QSC, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it, we shall see
is MKM the manufacturer or a reseller
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 7. is that typical
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

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
thats the synthesis house
i would order from JEEP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

what packaging have people had from GL Biochem
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
CPC has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want
per mg including shipping
quick one the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
weigh the vials
does factory direct actually mean anything
update from 3 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
coming back after 1 months, who has changed for the better
unrelated but price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, from memory
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
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 mghow many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
