- pharmac_pen — prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice 12:22
- group_buy_gwen — quoted lead time was 5 days, real one was 20. is that typical 14:05

weigh the vials
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries

does factory direct actually mean anything
order before new year
they slipped
is there a supplier anyone would recommend purely on communication
i would order from KP again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone
if three people give you three different suppliers, that is because all three work. pick one and test it

a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, from memory
quick one who are people using for semaglutide at the moment
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one
quoted lead time was 5 days, real one was 20. is that typical

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with WXT, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing
better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
update from 13 months ago: switched suppliers on fill consistency, not on purity, for what its worth
