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

is it worth paying more for better paperwork

anyone compared CPC and TFC on the same compound

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

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

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

sorry to jump in quoted lead time was 9 days, real one was 8. is that typical

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

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

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

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

unrelated but what packaging have people had from KP

order before new year

reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing

anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning

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

is WXT the manufacturer or a reseller

whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
