ask who makes it
paperwork is worth it
who are people using for semaglutide at the moment
anyone compared GL Biochem and WWB on the same compound
ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
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 mgi would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
they slipped
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number, for what its worth
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
does factory direct actually mean anything
they improved
per mg including shipping
quick one prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
update from 22 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

coming back to this quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
what packaging have people had from QSC
while im here if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it
update from 9 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
👍2❤️10👀1
is BCH the manufacturer or a reseller
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
the packaging from GL Biochem was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, anyway
is it worth paying more for better paperwork
update on the earlier thing coming back after 10 months, who has changed for the better
while im here is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
ask for a cold pack
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QYB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
three orders no issues
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
SWB has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want, anyway
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

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