Highlights from this day
  • dog_person_dev — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with BCH, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 20:01
  • dog_person_dev — my first order from MKM was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved 20:30
  • juno_joins — i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 20:55

slightly off topic but reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
WWB has been consistent for me across 3 orders which is what i actually want

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

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

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour

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

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

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

genuine question whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully

DP

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

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

paperwork is worth it

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

DP

slightly off topic but the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one

follow up how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation

ok so quoted lead time was 3 days, real one was 8. is that typical

WW

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

WW

update from 3 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

quick one whats the minimum order like at BCH

does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

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

per mg including shipping

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

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

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

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

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

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

not by dm

EE

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