Highlights from this day
- split_dose_sam — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 21:19
- pin29g — i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate, still working it out 21:33
- two_four_ceiling — no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, n of 1 obviously 22:22
- typosquat_tay — whats the minimum order like at SSA WXT has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want 22:56

does factory direct actually mean anything
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

update from 20 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
the packaging from KP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem, happy to be corrected
my first order from HJ was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
what packaging have people had from BCH
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with SSA, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
Channel stats, last 30 days: 133 messages from 52 members.
they slipped

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
*PeptideMeter not the other one
i would order from SSA again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, n of 1 obviously

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
ask for a cold pack

coming back to this nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
🙏1✅1
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
follow up ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
not by dm
ask who makes it
is GL Biochem the manufacturer or a reseller
do the arithmetic
thats the synthesis house

whats the minimum order like at SSA
WXT has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
per mg including shipping
CPC has been consistent for me across 4 orders which is what i actually want
Recon calculator: 15mg in 5ml = 10mg/ml.
quick one a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
