the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described

ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot

lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out

how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice

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

BB

update from 21 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

VB

New independent result logged — QSC, lot F-1330, purity 99.2% (Medutest).

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, take that with a pinch of salt

do the arithmetic

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation, your mileage will differ

IT

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

AA

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

IT

minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number

IT

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything, not advice obviously

VB

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

a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg

AA

follow up quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part

not by dm

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

my first order from QSC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved

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