Highlights from this day
- underfill_uma — 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 19:03
- underfill_uma — right so what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now 19:21
- alt_ast_ali — unrelated but support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation 19:41
- point_two_five — has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for FGP 19:50
- tablet_tam — a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, we shall see 21:07
does factory direct actually mean anything
i would order from BCH again and i would still weigh the vials, as i would with anyone, thats just me
quoted lead time was 3 days, real one was 25. is that typical
Recon calculator: 2mg in 0.5ml = 2.5mg/ml.

i have never had a problem i could not resolve with WWB, which is a low bar and a lot of suppliers fail it
who are people using for retatrutide at the moment
right so what does everyone consider a fair per mg price now

three orders no issues
update on the earlier thing my first order from CPC was fine and my fourth was better. they have improved
i keep three suppliers on rotation so a stock gap never becomes a problem
unrelated but support answering in two days is good. answering in nine is a data point about the whole operation

i asked for a non standard vial size and got it without a surcharge. that told me more than any certificate
has anyone worked out the actual per mg cost including shipping for FGP
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 mgprice per mg including shipping is the only comparison that means anything
does anyone ask who makes it and get a straight answer
thats the synthesis house
right so better paperwork is worth paying for and i did not think that two years ago
the same 50mg at 185 with free shipping is 3.70 per mg. cheaper, and i still ordered the first one, n of 1 obviously
a reseller relabelling a synthesis house is a different risk profile from the synthesis house, n of 1 obviously
thats a reseller
do the arithmetic
the packaging from Homopeptide was the best i have had, double boxed with the tray intact
cold packs are not standard everywhere. ask explicitly and it usually costs nothing, anyway
QSC has been consistent for me across 8 orders which is what i actually want
is a cold pack standard or do you have to ask
weights-monthly.csv
100 rows · not retained in the public archive
weigh the vials
order before new year
minimum orders push people into buying more than they want, which is a real cost nobody puts in the per mg number
no sourcing requests by private message. not from members, not from suppliers, and we report anyone who tries
ask for a cold pack
a 10mg vial at 38 in a pack of five, plus 25 shipping, is 215 for 50mg. thats 4.30 per mg, we shall see
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 mgquoted lead time versus actual is the number i track. the gap is the informative part
how long does support usually take to answer
lead times stretch badly around chinese new year. order early or wait it out
for the archive a supplier who tells you something is out of stock rather than shipping late is doing you a favour
what packaging have people had from Homopeptide
quick one not by dm
reordering or trying somebody new, whats the argument for staying

screenshot the invoice
genuine question prices move without announcement more often than people expect. screenshot your invoice, thats just me
while im here ask who actually makes it. about a third of suppliers answer honestly and that answer is worth a lot
coming back after 13 months, who has changed for the better
first order from WWB, anything i should know
how many suppliers do people actually keep on rotation
