lead-time notices, filed early by people who learned

The third February crunch was visible from a long way off this year, and the sourcing channel treated it as a logistics exercise rather than an annual crisis. Notices were collected as they arrived, the table was built before anyone needed it, and the only people caught out were the ones who had joined since November. That is progress of a sort.

What happened

  • The holiday falls late this year, which gave the channel an unusually long run-up and an unusually organised table.
  • Members were advised to place orders in January rather than to argue with a lead time in February, which is not complicated advice.
  • Flourishglobal Peptide and Sangon Biotech posted dates without being asked, which the channel now treats as a baseline expectation.
  • A newcomer asked why every supplier here has the same holiday and got a short, patient explanation of a national one.
  • Price per milligram comparisons were redone with January shipping rates, which changed the ordering less than people expected.
