- factory_direct_fi — prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, take that with a pinch of salt 18:11
- relabel_watch — FGP has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want 20:21
- declared_value — quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, ill dig out the number 20:45
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg
the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
they improved
i would order from HJ again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
[edited]what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
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 mgreordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
they slipped
three orders no issues
nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did
coming back after 19 months, who has changed for the better
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out, n of 1 obviously
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
thats the synthesis house
price per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
anyone compared JEEP and QST on the same compound
whats the smallest order anyone has placed successfully
thats a reseller
anyone found the price move on a repeat order without warning
whats the minimum order like at TFC
update on the earlier thing what packaging have people had from TFC
per mg including shipping
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
FGP has been consistent for me across 6 orders which is what i actually want
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for HJ
ask for a cold pack
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with QST, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
order before new year
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, ill dig out the number
cheap per mg is not the same as good value. i have paid more twice and been glad both times, take that with a pinch of salt
the packaging from KP was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
how do you tell a synthesis house from somebody with a sticker printer
weigh the vials
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate, take that with a pinch of salt
anyone had fill consistency problems with Homopeptide
does factory direct actually mean anything
update from 23 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity
paperwork is worth it
thats a reseller
ask who makes it
i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
