what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

💀9🎉3⚠️3

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

unsolicited_dm11:07

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

❤️2⚠️6

do the arithmetic

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

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

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

MKM has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want, i think

😂1💀1

update from 17 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

⚠️18

support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

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

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

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

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

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

no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries, ill dig out the number

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

ask who makes it

👍1👀13🧊1

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

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

sorrel_sends16:11

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

they improved

SS
sorrel_sends16:36
