Highlights from this day
  • lean_mass_lex — i have never had a problem i could not resolve with BCH, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it 20:15
  • lean_mass_lex — quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part 20:41
  • tenpence — SSA has been consistent for me across 5 orders which is what i actually want, happy to be corrected price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means… 20:58
  • pinch_not_stretch — i would order from GL Biochem again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone 21:10
  • tenpence — cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing 21:43

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

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

LM

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

VB

Inter-lab diff for lot A-2418: 97.4% vs 99.2%. Within expected range.

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

LM

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

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

TE

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

PN

cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

PN

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

they improved

RR

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

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

PN

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

update from 9 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity

sorry to jump in quoted lead time was 4 days, real one was 9. is that typical

the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago

whats the minimum order like at JEEP

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

[edited]

anyone compared QST and FGP on the same compound

TE

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

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