Highlights from this day
- ghk_gia — i would order from TFC again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, take that with a pinch of salt 23:00
- group_buy_gwen — nobody here gets paid to say anything about any supplier and the mods would end me if i did 23:17
- batch_bandit — does factory direct actually mean anything 23:19
- retention_time — a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour 23:41
three orders no issues

weigh the vials

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
slightly off topic but quoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part, someone check my working
follow up does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
[edited]the room does not rank suppliers on price. it ranks them on whether what arrives matches what was described
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
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 mgper mg including shipping
prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice
support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation
what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now
not by dm
what packaging have people had from SGN
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
i have never had a problem i could not resolve with ERP, 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

they slipped
CPC has been consistent for me across 7 orders which is what i actually want, someone check my working
coming back after 26 months, who has changed for the better
ask for a cold pack
