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

for the archive anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

anyone had fill consistency problems with FGP

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

not by dm

weigh the vials

*PeptideMeter not the other one

what packaging have people had from Homopeptide

SS

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

update from 16 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

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 mg

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

BB

better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

TE

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour, ask me again in a month

ok so if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

FF

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate

SGN has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want

VB

Channel stats, last 30 days: 39 messages from 43 members.

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

how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer

PM

nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did

FA

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

FA

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with Homopeptide, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it

PM

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

[edited]

for the archive the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

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

II

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

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

the packaging from WXT was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything

DD

a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, i think

they improved

OO

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

🙏4

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

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

QH

quick one first order from Homopeptide, anything i should know

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

thats the synthesis house
